That ride off will forever be tinged by the carnage which came before, despite the glossy sheen. |

| 289379 | Nguyên Lê | InSession Film | Fresh | A | 2018-10-10T23:04:26.000Z | 2018-10-10 23:04:26 | Completely sober thought here, but the best concert to attend this week is [one where] the headliner is a filmmaker and automobiles are the tools of the band. |
| 289380 | Aaron Peterson | The Hollywood Outsider | Fresh | 8.5/10 | 2018-10-10T20:25:12.000Z | 2018-10-10 20:25:12 | Baby Driver offers a fresh take on an exhaustive premise, and delivers a star-making performance from Ansel Elgort. [It's] the sizzling solution to this summer's lack of heat. |
| 289381 | Tomas Trussow | The Lonely Film Critic | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-10-05T07:28:13.000Z | 2018-10-05 07:28:13 | Edgar Wright has given us a firecracker of fun amidst a dull landscape of the same old, same old. |
| 289382 | Rendy Jones | Rendy Reviews | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-08-30T14:56:19.000Z | 2018-08-30 14:56:19 | An infectiously joyous wild ride that is a testament to the saying, "Let the music play." |
| 289383 | Abbie Bernstein | Assignment X | Fresh | — | 2018-08-28T19:27:56.000Z | 2018-08-28 19:27:56 | Baby Driver is an homage to other big, great action heist movies, but it's ambitious as well... It is quirky and effective enough. |
| 289384 | Kambole Campbell | One Room With A View | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-08-25T13:41:01.000Z | 2018-08-25 13:41:01 | It's thrilling filmmaking, a total blast, and rarely misses a beat. |
| 289385 | Asia Frey | Lagniappe (Mobile, AL) | Rotten | — | 2018-08-23T21:09:43.000Z | 2018-08-23 21:09:43 | As an action movie, "Baby Driver" is good, but as an action movie directed by Edgar Wright, it is disappointing. |
| 289386 | Mae Abdulbaki | Movies with Mae | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-08-21T23:33:40.000Z | 2018-08-21 23:33:40 | Loud, fun, and with a soundtrack that complements the film in all the right ways, "Baby Driver" is like being on a roller coaster, with its twists and turns coming quick and a feeling of exhilaration unlike any other. |
| 289387 | Lisa Johnson Mandell | AtHomeInHollywood.com | Fresh | — | 2018-08-21T21:18:07.000Z | 2018-08-21 21:18:07 | Let me tell you, the film is just as fun, harmonious and right noted as the Simon and Garfunkel classic. |
| 289388 | Glenn Heath Jr. | San Diego CityBeat | Fresh | — | 2018-08-21T21:02:47.000Z | 2018-08-21 21:02:47 | It's an impressive high-wire act put on by a director who understands the power of human sincerity in the face of oppressive irony. |
| 289389 | Avram Vargas | Geeks of Color | Fresh | — | 2018-08-15T21:49:13.000Z | 2018-08-15 21:49:13 | In the end, the identity of this unique flick is behind the music and its effect on our lives. Music uplifts us, saddens us, angers us, but most importantly it keeps us moving. Two huge thumbs up for Edgar Wright... |
| 289390 | Kevin A. Ranson | MovieCrypt.com | Fresh | 4/4 | 2018-06-27T13:20:08.000Z | 2018-06-27 13:20:08 | With just enough thinking to be thoughtful and just enough danger to feel dangerous, it's a rare balancing act that any film works as well as this does. |
| 289391 | Glenn Dunks | Junkee | Rotten | — | 2018-06-20T13:15:37.000Z | 2018-06-20 13:15:37 | It is perhaps appropriate that the last time we will (hopefully) ever have to look at Kevin Spacey's smug face is in a film that is as equally proud of itself. |
| 289392 | Damian Levy | Jamaica Gleaner | Fresh | — | 2018-05-02T23:56:00.000Z | 2018-05-02 23:56:00 | In a perfect world, this film makes all the money that is possible and is seen by audiences everywhere. Unfortunately, it'll be yet another film that doesn't get nearly as much attention as it truly deserves. |
| 289393 | Jules Brenner | Cinema Signals | Fresh | 4/5 | 2018-04-17T22:10:33.000Z | 2018-04-17 22:10:33 | Breakneck auto action matched with a stirring sound track, plus a freshly conceived central character -- this joy ride will keep a hip audience strapped to their seats. |
| 289394 | Alison Rowat | The Herald (Scotland) | Fresh | 3/5 | 2018-04-03T19:51:18.000Z | 2018-04-03 19:51:18 | This is a director having the ride of his life, one going all out to bring the audience along in the passenger seat. Just don't look too closely at what is whizzing past, and you too will have a blast. |
| 289395 | Amelia Navascues | Triple J | Fresh | 3.5/5 | 2018-03-22T23:13:47.000Z | 2018-03-22 23:13:47 | But whether you're in it for the music or just for the ride, Baby Driver is an entertaining car movie with an engine and a beat. |
| 289396 | Oggs Cruz | Rappler | Fresh | — | 2018-03-22T23:11:31.000Z | 2018-03-22 23:11:31 | Wright installs very vital flourishes, detailing all of his characters with quirks, virtues and vices that add color to the already colorful feature...Wright has fashioned a captivating showcase of cinematic wizardry. |
| 289397 | Jeremy Jahns | JeremyJahns.com | Fresh | — | 2018-01-26T00:58:20.000Z | 2018-01-26 00:58:20 | It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, but has serious elements. When the two come together, they actually come together quite well. |
| 289398 | Rick Marshall | Digital Trends | Fresh | — | 2018-01-23T00:31:54.000Z | 2018-01-23 00:31:54 | Baby Driver is the best car-chase crime musical ever made. |
| 289399 | Ephie Cozza | Aggressive Comix | Fresh | 5/5 | 2018-01-18T23:31:39.000Z | 2018-01-18 23:31:39 | This is quite possible the best film [Edgar Wright] has ever made. |
| 289400 | John Beifuss | Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2018-01-02T20:25:35.000Z | 2018-01-02 20:25:35 | Edgar Wright's pedal-to-the-metal plus needle-to-the-vinyl action movie is a love letter to the never obsolete wonders of fast cars, pop music and crafty commercial/personal filmmaking. |
| 289401 | Jamie Neish | CineVue | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-12-28T17:40:35.000Z | 2017-12-28 17:40:35 | It's a real treat to see such a fantastic cast bounce off one another like they do here. |
| 289402 | Eric Melin | The Pitch | Fresh | 3.5/4 | 2017-12-22T18:35:41.000Z | 2017-12-22 18:35:41 | It sounds like every noir-tinged crime movie since the 40s, but its a canny reconfiguration of boilerplate elements, made special by the way it taps into our music-saturated culture, using iPods and earbuds to fashion a seductive fantasy world. |
| 289403 | Al Hoff | Pittsburgh City Paper | Fresh | — | 2017-12-19T00:19:56.000Z | 2017-12-19 00:19:56 | Turns out that this film is a crime actioner wrapped in a quirky musical rom-com, with music and songs informing nearly every scene. |
| 289404 | Eli Glasner | CBC News | Fresh | 4/5 | 2017-12-18T23:11:13.000Z | 2017-12-18 23:11:13 | With Elgort channeling a pouty James Dean and mean Kevin Spacey at his very best, Baby Driver delivers the creativity this summer's films have been lacking. |
| 289405 | Jason Guerrasio | Business Insider | Fresh | — | 2017-12-18T22:23:01.000Z | 2017-12-18 22:23:01 | Wright has made a movie that showcases his incredible moviemaking talents and should be instantly included in the conversation with the best car chase/heist movies of all time. |
| 289406 | Loren King | Newport This Week (RI) | Fresh | — | 2017-12-13T19:45:53.000Z | 2017-12-13 19:45:53 | It's actually a drive-in movie made with art house élan. |
| 289407 | Courtney Howard | SassyMamaInLA | Fresh | A- | 2017-12-05T23:32:03.000Z | 2017-12-05 23:32:03 | Wright has tapped a fuel-injected line into cinematic innovation. It's supercharged storytelling at its best. |
