Reviews & comments
Flicks, Tony Stamp
flicksYou might know the feeling: you’re walking along, ear buds in, enjoying a favourite song. Before long your pace is in time with the beat, and your surroundings start to feel in sync with the music. That’s the concept behind Baby Driver, told from the perspective of someone whose buds never leave his ears, and who’s less likely to be walking than driving away from a bank heist.
Drives you mad with enjoyment
This film is masterfully put together and is a joy to watch. We really get to feel for and with the characters, smiling when they smile and (not really but) crying when they cry. The action is admirable though not over the top and the more talkative moments never bore. The fact that the scenes match the music is also clever and fun.

pressPlays out like blasting your coolest friend's record collection in your car at 100 mph on the Atlanta freeway while cops close in on all sides - essentially what happens in the movie again and again, to always-riveting effect.

pressLike all Edgar Wright movies, "Baby Driver" is a blast, featuring wall-to-wall music and a surfeit of inspired ideas. But it's also something of a mess...
Time Out
pressBaby Driver is sweet fantasy, unlike more violent and existential vehicular visions such as Drive or Bullitt. That means its two-bit thieves and criminal masterminds (Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Kevin Spacey) are enjoyably cartoonish.
Stuff
pressA film that was trying way too hard to be cool. And as everybody knows, there's nothing less cool than that.

pressIt's funny, exhilarating and entertaining, and definitely worth the ride.
