Leave your thoughts about Baby Driver.
Birth.Movies.Death.Meredith BordersSo rhythmic, so kinetic, that it pulls you into its cadence, bringing you into Baby's world as surely as if you were sharing headphones. |
Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanNo Hollywood suit and no diehard fan could have had the foresight to picture something like this, namely because nobody but Wright had any idea what this was supposed to be. This is something that’s been brewing inside his head for over two decades, and that unquestionable dedication, confidence, and passion fuels each and every scene of Baby Driver. |
EmpireTerri WhiteAn awe-inspiring piece of filmmaking from Edgar Wright that plays out as a musical through the lens of an action thriller. Sweet, funny and utterly original — you won’t see a film like it this year. |
HeyUGuysNathan McVayEdgar Wright returns with an incredible heist movie, built with love, precision and a great deal of fun. His best film yet, and surely one of the best films of the year. |
New York Magazine/VultureDavid EdelsteinAs he proves yet again in his thrillingly syncopated heist movie Baby Driver, the 43-year-old U.K.-born Edgar Wright is just about the perfect 21st-century genre director. He has a fanboy’s scintillating palette — flesh-eating zombies, righteous vigilante cops, stoic bank robbers in sunglasses — without a fanboy’s lack of peripheral vision. |

Willamette WeekAP KryzaIt takes a scant five minutes for Baby Driver to feel like one of the best car-chase films of all time. |
Indie LondonRob CarnevaleEdgar Wright has delivered the film of the summer, and one of the best of the year, with Baby Driver, a heist movie that tips its hat to past classics while retaining an energy and style that's steadfastly its own. |
Shotgun CinemaPatrick KolanIt delights me to report that Baby Driver is a monumental f---ing triumph. This is the best action movie of 2017 and the best thing Wright has done to date. |
Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIt's a triumph. It's as lightweight as a soufflé, yet as solid as a Ferrari. And it interweaves the inner and outer lives of its hero lightly but with real perception. |
