A promising young drummer enrolls at a cut-throat music conservatory where his dreams of greatness are mentored by an instructor who will stop at nothing to realize a student's potential.
“This intense drama captivates with its brutal character study of ambition and the psychological battle between a driven student and his terrifying mentor. The film's energy and compelling performances create an unforgettable, visceral experience, despite a few moments of over-the-top realism.”
Anyone who appreciates intense character dramas, psychological thrillers, and a deep dive into the costs of artistic ambition.
