Every part of the film felt like it was meticulously thought over and filled with love.

The movie was a win on all fronts for me: writing, performances, special effects, sound design, editing. Despite being filmed decades after its predecessor, it felt like an effortless return to a retro-futuristic Los Angeles filled with flying cars, killer robots and hyper-commercialism. “Blade Runner 2049” is a film that I was sure was destined to fail. Seeing Baby get the girl and, most importantly, learn to be okay with himself, was by far the most satisfying moment I’ve had in a movie theater this year. How could Baby possibly deserve someone that makes him as happy as Debora does?įor me, struggling with clinical anxiety and depression issues means constantly feeling like I’m not deserving of happiness. This is why whenever Baby meets Debora, a beautiful woman infatuated with tunes just like he is, he feels a lot of happiness but also a lot of dread.

Forced by a comic book-like league of criminals to be the driver for various heists, Baby constantly suffers with self-loathing. The film, from “Scott Pilgrim” and “Shaun of the Dead” director Edgar Wright, follows Baby, a young man with an obsessive love of music and incredible skills behind the wheel. A lot of “Baby Driver” spoke to me, including the impeccable, suave performance from Ansel Elgort, the fast-paced, exhilarating action and the jamming soundtrack, but I think what resonated with me the most was the romance.
