Baby is a young man who creates re-mixes of his own life events and experiences. With the help of an old-fashioned mini-cassette recorder, he records conversations that occur around him (almost always around him but not with him), and then incorporates the recordings into songs using some wonderfully antiquated keyboard and rhythm equipment. We see him create his first piece, which is titled “Was He Slow,” and it takes its title from a question asked by an accomplice about Baby’s mental capacity. To create “Baby Driver,” writer/director Edgar Wright remixes the movies and songs that have influenced him, much like Baby transforms the world around him into music. The result is a wildly joyful and fantastically entertaining film. As CGI robots collide with one another and superheroes soar through the sky, Wright asks if you remember how movies used to thrill us with a turn of phrase, the squeal of a wheel, a diving plot twist, or a passionate kiss. One of the minor miracles of “Baby Driver” is that it feels both influenced by the modern era of self-aware, pop-culture filmmaking and charmingly old-fashioned all at the same time. In terms of entertainment, it’s as good as anything you’ll find in a movie theater this year.

Yes, his name is “B-A-B-Y, Baby,” which is an abbreviation (Ansel Elgort). If anyone asks him, he goes by his given name, though he is more often than not completely ignored by the public. Babe (Kevin Spacey) is a getaway driver for an international robbery syndicate run by Doc (Kevin Spacey), who organizes the heist, hires three criminals, and then transports them all in Baby’s car to safety. As you can see, Baby is capable of driving. However, he requires music in order to accomplish this. Since an automobile accident as a child left him with tinnitus, the vast majority of his waking hours are spent with ear buds in his ears, trying to drown out the ringing in his ears. Meanwhile, the world around him moves to the beat of one of his many iPods, each of which he has customized for a different mood. Music is as important to the success of “Baby Driver” as it was to the success of “La La Land,” if not more so. Sometimes the world appears to respond to his choice, and other times his choice appears to influence the world around him—either way, music is as important to the success of “Baby Driver” as it was to the success of “La La Land.”

Editor’s Picks

Take, for example, the first scene, which is gripping. As Baby is cueing up “Bellbottoms” by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion in his earbuds, three criminals, Buddy (Jon Hamm), Darling (Eiza Gonzalez), and Griff (Jon Bernthal), leap from a car outside of a bank. Since then, everything has been choreographed to the music, from the slamming of the car doors after the bank robbers return to the squealing tires during one of the best car chase scenes in recent memory. Action scenes set to pop or rock music have been seen a zillion times, but how many of them have you seen where the action is performed in perfect sync with the music? Moreover, Wright takes this brilliant concept a step further by making even the most mundane of everyday activities feel like it is a part of Baby’s musical score. While someone is typing a text message on their phone or stacking money on a table, the sounds of the music will blend together to create an entire film that is consistent in its rhythm, flow, and structure from the very first frame to the very last, all in sync with the music. It’s fluid and jaw-dropping—the kind of thing you want to watch again as soon as it’s over to catch all the details you missed the first time around, and then again after that.
But you shouldn’t waste any more time and start this Baby Driver quiz.

The final paragraph most likely makes “Baby Driver” sound like a music video, and it has most likely turned away potential viewers who were looking for more substance than style in their entertainment. Take my word for it when I say that Wright does not scrimp on the first. There’s enough story and action to keep you entertained even if you don’t care for the music that drives the filmmaking. Because much of the enjoyment of this film comes from simply watching it unfold, I’ll keep the plot summary to a minimum. Baby dabbled in crime for a brief period of time, and he made the mistake of robbing Doc, who now forces him to drive as a form of punishment. He’s almost finished with it. He has one more job for Doc to complete before returning to his regular schedule. As we all know, crime movies are notorious for having a happy ending. And when Baby meets a lovely waitress named Debora (Lily James), he discovers a compelling reason to return to the straight and narrow. That’s all there is to it, really.

Baby Driver Quiz

At its core, “Baby Driver” harkens back to decades of films that focused on criminals and the art of the car chase as the central plot devices for their stories. This is not just due to the fact that Wright’s two genetically blessed stars look like they could have walked out of a 1940s noir film; it is also due to the fact that Wright structures and details his film with a remarkably old-fashioned sensibility (their All-American aesthetic is even more striking in a few gorgeous black-and-white shots that recall old Hollywood even more). It is the charming little beats within the overall tune that hold “Baby Driver” together, as it is a high-concept film that never fails to impress with its attention to detail.

It helps a great deal that only a small number of people know how to put together a cast like Edgar Wright. In addition to being engaging and charismatic leads, Elgort and James have fantastic chemistry together as well. In contrast to most Hollywood action movies, the survival of the heroes becomes something we actively root for rather than something we assume will happen as a matter of course. Aside from that, the “villains” of the story are expertly cast and directed, particularly Spacey and Jamie Foxx in their roles as the menacing Bat. Despite the fact that both roles are written and cast in such a way that they could have stolen the show with performances that appealed to the cheap seats, neither actor ever succeeds in doing so. Foxx is particularly impressive in a role that is both hilarious and filled with a sense of impending danger. One of those films in which every single role, from the gruff diner chef to the sweet post office employee, feels like it was cast with the most appropriate person for the part. A film’s magic is enhanced when you have the impression that every single element, even the most minor ones, is functioning exactly as the director intended it to be.

About the quiz

Whenever a movie is really working, you can feel an influx of energy in the theater. It’s the guy in the seat next to you who jumps a little in his seat when a car makes a hard turn. It’s the woman in the row in front of you who’s laughing extra hard at a joke. It’s the feeling that everyone is completely immersed in the film, almost tapping their feet to the beat of the music. I still believe that the majority of people go to the movies with groups of strangers in order to experience that shared magic and nod their heads in unison to the soundtrack of the movie they are watching. One of your favorite songs of the year will undoubtedly be “Baby Driver.” Listen to it with a group of people. And obnoxious.Also, you must try to play this Baby Driver quiz.
