straight up the most fun i've had in a movie theater since MAGIC MIKE XXL. like an 113-minute version of those year-end video things i make, but, ya know… actually art, and not just legwork. can't *quite* shake the feeling that this was $20 million short of being a masterpiece (just as i'm having a little trouble making sense of how this movie doesn't end with a car chase), but this is still exactly the kind of shot in the arm that mid-budget studio filmmaking needs.

This is kind of a weird post, but I just got one of those “on this day” memories on Facebook, and it’s been 3 years to the day since I decided to start reviewing movies.
The reason I’m logging this on Baby Driver is because that’s the first film I reviewed on Letterboxd. Before that I’d hand-write them in a notepad just for my own amusement. Then I found out about this app and began writing around 3-4, quite long and fairly in-depth reviews a month.
In the 3 years since I began doing this I’ve learned a lot about what makes a movie good (and bad), I’ve seen lots of films, both new and old, blockbuster and indie, English-language…

Baby Driver is the best mixtape ever assembled.
I don't think a movie has got my adrenaline pumping as much as this movie just did. To say this film was exhilarating would be the understatement of the century.
Car chases has now reach magnum opus. There's no reason to have another car chase in a movie because it will never come close to the car chases in Baby Driver. There's also some epic shootout sequences. A LOT of blood is shed.
Ansel Elgort plays one of the best skewed heroes ever put on screen. I haven't rooted this hard for a criminal ever.
Jamie Foxx absolutely KILLS it! He plays the slimiest fucker ever and I hated him with every ounce of my being.
Lily James stole my heart.
On my drive home from the theater I had one of the jam sessions of my life. Threw on the tunes and just drove baby!
B A B Y motherfuckers!!

Edgar Wright would have never fit the 70s New Wave: he belongs at Warners in the 30s. Baby Driver colors inside the lines, but this is a stark contrast from other recent Hollywood films praised being "different enough." He wants the image on screen to matter more than the cultural conversation that occurs afterwards. He's rather cast a David Byrne than a emotive performance (perhaps to a slight detriment when the gears change). He wants to create tone and rhythm and pace - a movie with individual parts instead of a smoothed out surface. Car chases move more like Bollywood dance numbers than action scenes - with each car composed like an individual sari. He's a genuine dork, showing off…

THE POSITIVES
+ the synchronized soundtrack to the actions (obviously! this is a very lukewarm take but i still gotta mention it because it's THAT GOOD of a technique)
+ love that deaf representation!!
+ sky ferreira
+ made me forget i hate ansel elgort
THE NEGATIVES
- if only the characters' decisions were synchronized with their motivations 👀
- uncomfy gender/racial politics (just ONCE i'd like to see a heist movie where women are more than just love interests. can't wait for Oceans Eight!)
- not enough sky ferreira
- made me forget i hate ansel elgort
BONUS
+++ THE 3 SECOND CLIP OF BRAD PITT IN FIGHT CLUB
VERDICT
for 2 full hours this movie made me forget…

Um filme maneiro de um deficiente mental que come uma gostosa, é um bom filme de ação, pode-se dizer que é o gosling mais novo, mas ele é feio 😱
Review by emmamazintas ★★★

It was okay but not my favourite
Review by sharline ★★★½

a trilha sonora é a melhor coisa do filme. o romance entre o baby e a debora é super chato e brochante. o relacionamento do baby com o joseph é o melhor, eu acho.
o filme é basicamente um velozes e furiosos melhor ou um gta v musical.
ps: debora foi usada somente como um par romântico do protagonista hmkk que pena
Review by darkskiesjess ★★★★

Review by Benedikt Kainzbauer ★★★★½

Review by elliekitchen ★★★★½

this is my favourite palette cleanser. i always get the urge to rewatch baby driver when i feel i haven’t seen a ‘good’ movie in a while.
i’ve had the urge to rewatch this probably since the last time i watched it (june 9 of last year) but i’ve been exerting some self control and instead have tried to see films i haven’t seen before. but today, i gave in and i enjoyed every second of it.
i love this film so much and i love edgar wright even more
