Avatree Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) oops, forgot to finish with the best movie. Baby Driver was my favourite movie of 2017. Right from the start, it is mesmerising to watch. It has a sense of giddiness that is addictive. So addictive that I went back and watched this again and again at the cinema - I think I watched it a total of 7 times in the cinema. The music and the action flow in perfect harmony - there are scenes where cars drive at the pace of the music, or where there's a gun shot on each drum hit in a firefight. Edgar Wright is an exceptionally talented filmmaker and it's impressive to watch someone who can so elegantly direct a film like this. Combining the music with the acting, with the camerawork and the editing... to steal this phrase from a film critic, it is like watching a pianist play the piano. You're not just amazed by what you hear, you're amazed by what you see them actually doing. It is so impressive. Pure movie magic Edited April 8, 2018 by November Treejax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
