Simmons is terrifying and magnetic. The film smartly refuses to tell you whether he was right. The car crash into the drum kit is when it stops being about jazz.

Ninety minutes of pure tension. It's a horror movie about ambition. Those last nine minutes of Caravan and the look they trade — I was exhausted and exhilarated.
