"Drunken Country Ballad", career best.

"Gravity," career best.

"Breaking Drummer", another career best

This sounds like a joke!

Once, it's amazing; twice, it's old-fashioned; three times, it's... boring. The same thing, repeated over and over again, gradually begins to become numb over time, and naturally loses its original meaning; and the same kind of praise, repeated over and over again, will inevitably lead to doubts. All the best? Does this mean that there is a breakout every time? How can this happen?”

One breakthrough, two breakthroughs, three breakthroughs... This is not Yelena-Isinbayeva's world record for pole vaulting, she breaks through every competition, and challenging the world record is like drinking water and eating; In the field of artistic creation, the criteria for measuring "breakthrough" and "best" are a little vague and ambiguous, and breakthroughs are achieved every time, which sounds more like a fantasy.

The more praise "Boom Drummer" gets, the bigger the backlash on social networks. There are endless ridicules and ridicules, both malicious and well-meaning, but all of them refuse to believe it. They just regard the media's praise and praise as a Joke, as if the film critics are collectively blind.

But online jokes still can't change the reality that is happening at Sundance: the first 24 professional media reviews are all positive, and this is the first work that has achieved such a result since it was unveiled at Sundance this year.

Praise; Negative; Moderate. Twenty-four professional media unanimously chose "praise", and it can be seen from the side that the work "Booming Drummer" achieved the results at the premiere.

In stark contrast to the ranting frenzy that social networks hate because they hate it and reject it because of rejection, audiences and critics who have watched the movie in person have all praised it. The confrontation and disagreement between the two sides on social networks , has also become a unique and beautiful landscape.

"Vanity Fair," Eighty Points, "Damien-Chazelle managed to capture the elements of greatness with rhythm and rhythm, firmly grasping the audience's attention, and continuing to the last moment. The whole film is the most beautiful The part is undoubtedly Renly Hall, who once again delivers a breathtaking, terrific performance, with that iconic eye once again being the finishing touch in the final scene of the film."

"Playlist," 83 points, "The only thing preventing this film from becoming a classic is that the story is too familiar, and the routine is still expected. But writer-director Damien Chazelle gave the film a sense of A unique charisma: He shows what it takes to be great, and genuinely appreciates that obsession and madness; further, he shows the consequences for the average person who lacks the qualities of greatness. Renly-Ho Hall and JK Simmons made the whole story believable, and Hall once again delivered one of the most humbling performances on the big screen."

"The Guardian," Eighty-Three, "It is extremely rare that a film about music shows the same emphasis on music and on the characters as equals. Delicate and full characters interact with lively and wonderful music. , which promotes the sublimation of the core of the story, which is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of this work. Of course, there is also Renly Hall. Who else can refuse Renly Hall?"

Among the first batch of 24 film reviews, seven are in the 80-point range, of which "Vanity Fair" is the lowest score, "only" is only 80 points, but even "Vanity Fair" has a clear positive attitude. visible. Interestingly, in the tit-for-tat scenes between Simmons and Renly, Simmons won the respect while Renly stole the spotlight.

As the sunspots on the social network said, Renly's light is so strong that the focus is all on him, which is unfair to the other actors.

But for such remarks, the "Chicago Tribune" gave another interpretation.

"Everyone is arguing why the media is so full of praise for Renly-Hall's remarks and unanimous that there seems to be no other possibility or other voice, which is really repellent, even annoying; more Further, the media seems to be more willing to reward Renly even if other actors put on a great performance, but is that really the case

From 'Gravity' to 'Drunken Country Ballad' to 'Booming Drummer', Renly-Hall's outstanding performance is raising expectations and judging standards step by step, because Renly has been presumed to be 'great', Then he must continue to conquer the audience with better and better performances, otherwise, under the high expectations, disappointment and regret are inevitable.

It is against this background that Renly Hall once again conquered the audience with his performance of 'The Popping Drummer', who proved himself to be worthy of such accolades with his actions! "

The editorial of the above-mentioned "Chicago Tribune" is not a film review. It discusses recent hotspots from a different angle, and at the same time, it complements the film reviews published in the newspaper, further confirming my own point of view.

"Chicago Tribune," Ninety-One Points, "The 'Boom Drummer' once again proves that Renly Hall is one of the finest actors of our time. Damien Chazelle provides a brilliant The two-player game, but it was supposed to be a two-player work, but because of Hall's excellent performance, it almost became his one-man show again. Simmons successfully avoided such a crisis, but it also proved that Hall's excellence is inescapable. Replaced. Of course, you can continue to hate Hall, or you can continue to ignore 'Boom Drummer', and you'll miss a great game!"

This comment goes even further than the "Hollywood Reporter", focusing all the light of the whole movie on Renly, but the "Chicago Tribune" did make a point:

When everyone agrees that Renly can give top performances, a little carelessness, lower than expected, or even mediocre performance, seems to be enough to be called a "failure", just like the original "detachment"; In this case, it is even more difficult for Renly to win praise, and now "Boom Drummer" still wins unanimous praise, what does the side show

At this time, looking back at the affirmative comments of the four authoritative media such as "Variety", "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times", the significance is even more extraordinary.

Best career

why not! Otherwise, how is it possible to trigger a collective climax/climax of all media

"Independent Telegram," Ninety-One Points, "The film is always on the verge of self-destruction and artistic transformation, and the dynamism that Damien Chazelle brings to the work as a director proves that he is a man to watch. An artist to look forward to. In addition, jk-simmons presented the most shocking and threatening performance on the big screen this year, and Renly-Hall once again proved himself on the road of performance with a more shining attitude Still haven't stopped exploring and breaking through. Yes, this is the best of Renly Hall's career."

Among the first 24 film reviews, six are in the 90-point range, of which the "Chicago Tribune" and "Independent Telegram" are already the lowest scores, and the others are all 95. Points, the focus on Damien Chazelle and Jk Simmons is growing, and of course, Renly is also the object of praise.

The last eleven comments are all full marks.

"Complete film", one hundred percent, "Undoubtedly a masterpiece! The most successful part of the film comes from Damien Chazelle, who combines drum beats and editing to make the whole film a perfect fusion of jazz, which is very important for It was a rare breakthrough for a musical film, where Chazelle showed his talent and talent. And all of Chazelle's ideas came to life with great performances from jk Simmons and Renly Hall."

"Empire," One Hundred, "The trailer is already a treat, but when it comes to the film itself, it can leave the audience engrossed, exhausted, and shivering, but can't help but start cheering 'encore.' The spark between Damien Chazelle and Renly Hall and Jk Simmons makes this work unique."

"The Telegraph", One Hundred, "What it feels like to be perfect can only be understood when you experience it first-hand, and 'Boom Drummer' is like that; You can see what you see, and that's what Renly Hall does. One of the best of the year!"

"The New York Post," One Hundred, "The film sharply captures the line between thriller and excitement, and during the walk, the movie keeps the excitement and excitement of watching the movie, which makes the scalp tingling. Also, although everyone All complimenting Renly Hall, it seems like no more attention is needed; but... no one can ignore Renly Hall. Beyond 'Drunken Ballad' and 'Gravity', once again delivering the best of his career!"

"Chicago Sun," One Hundred, "There is a film that ignites emotions, lights up actors, penetrates audiences for an experience that cannot be described in words, and 'Crackling Drummer' is like that. It's darker than 'Drummer'. Swan' is bloodier, stronger, more taut; and jazz is no longer a ballet prop, the movie really allows jazz to have his moment. Perfect!"

Good, good, good.

Full marks, full marks, full marks.

In addition to the four authoritative media, "Boom Drummer" still ushered in a full-scale screen frenzy.

As some viewers have said, this movie is really too bloody and too cruel, especially the dehumanizing torture, which is enough to make countless people’s stomachs burn, which also makes the movie destined to win all praise; not to mention, This is Damien Chazelle's second work, and it is still a little immature. There is also room for improvement in technical skills, which also means that the gesture of full score swiping may not be as crazy as imagined.

Despite this, the twenty-four media still pushed the "Boom Drummer" to a peak with unanimous praise and more than half of the perfect score! There is no doubt that it has become the absolute explosion of Sundance's 30th anniversary!
