  • [14]tmdb28039023 @tmdb28039023TMDB review · Aug 27, 2022 · Rated 1/10

    There is an episode of Tales from the Crypt wherein the protagonist’s conscience sounds just like – and is played by – Sam Kinison. OH! OH! AAAUGH! This is only slightly worse than tinnitus but still slightly better than Baby Driver, the story of an idiot savant who is the best getaway driver in Atlanta – with the caveat that he needs to listen to his iPod; when at the mercy of FM radio, Baby (Ansel Elgort) becomes …

  • [10]David @wogsurferTMDB review · Feb 9, 2020 · Rated 9/10

    Baby (Elgort) is a quiet, unassuming young man, who looks after his ailing foster parent, listens to music both out of his love for it, and a need to block out the tinnitus ringing in his ears that he was afflicted with due to a tragic accident that also took his parents. Baby also has a specific skill set, one that has him doing the bidding of a crime boss Doc (Spacey) to pay back a debt. Baby's skill is driving, …

  • [1]The Movie Mob @mooney240TMDB review · Aug 19, 2022 · Rated 9/10

    Overall : Everything about Baby Driver is fresh, fun, and unique. Don't let this one get away! Baby Driver stands out as a brilliant, unique, and fun piece of cinema art with its outstanding writing, perfect cast, exceptional stunt work, bold colors, and so much more. This movie gets everything right. However, this film's most impressive feature lies in its soundtrack. The music is a character of the movie …

  • [2]Rob @Arcanum101TMDB review · May 19, 2023 · Rated 9/10

    Like music beats? Like movies? You've never seen the two combined like this before. On the surface, this is an action-heist movie. But look again...with your ears. The visual beats are in time with the soundtrack. It's utterly mesmerising.

  • [7]John Chard @John ChardTMDB review · Mar 15, 2020 · Rated 8/10

    The moment you catch feelings is the moment you catch a bullet. Baby Driver is written and directed by Edgar Wright. It stars Ansel Elgort, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey, Flea, Lily James and Eiza González. Music is by Steven Price and cinematography by Bill Pope. In debt to a crime boss, a young getaway driver with tinnitus finds himself taking part in a heist that could spell doom for all …

How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 212 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 10, 2026. Method

Critics, per Wikipedia

Baby Driver was a financial success. Although the film's performance faltered in China, it performed strongly in key North American and European markets until the end of its theatrical run. Baby Driver earned $107.8 million in the United States and Canada and $119.1 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $227 million. It was the 42nd-highest-grossing film of 2017, and Wright's highest-grossing film to date. The TriStar–Media Rights Capital partnership recouped their budget with a $51.5 million net profit, factoring in marketing costs and other expenses. Good word-of-mouth support, as well as fatiguing interest in blockbuster franchises, were considered critical to Baby…

    If anything is going to feel more like Baby Driver than Richard Bachman. I don't think it's going to be a bad movie. Wright's too talented for that. But given the tone we've seen so far, we're not getting that black original ending.

    I think Baby Driver may be one of my all-time favorite movies. In particular, Jon Hamm's character arc, and both his and Jamie Foxx's menacing presence. It's not a film that makes me feel good watching it, as much as it makes me feel everything that happens in it with such gripping intensity.
