Currently studying at a music institute which is at a comparable level to the one depicted in the movie.
There are lots of really little things which break the immersion of the movie for me, one such being the counting in using 5 6 7 8. Dancers do this, musicians count 1 2 3 4.
The other major thing which made me annoyed was at the end when the kid has to play a piece of music hes never heard. I understand nerves or something play a role and the situation is pretty unique but a drummer at his percieved standard would be at least able to play in time and make something up... hed miss stops and hits and stuff but id wager that a talented jazz drummer would be able to make it seem to a lay person that everything is normal.
Finally the most annoying thing was the way the kid 'practices'. If you are bleeding then you holding the sticks wrong boy.
But i just put this stuff out of my head and enjoyed the movie for what it was... accurate no, good movie, yes.
