John Hamm, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey are the surly crims taking advantage of his gifts.
Baby Driver Photograph: Webb/Sony/Kobal/REX/ShutterstockĮdgar Wright’s inventive wheel-spin on the car-chase movie stars Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver whose tinnitus causes him to pump out banging tunes at high volume while performing some miraculous escapes from the law. What we said: Aquarius is a rich and complex character study from the Brazilian auteur Kleber Mendonça Filho: densely observed, scrupulously realised, and with a wonderful lead performance. Sônia Braga stars as an intellectual who refuses to vacate her apartment when the developers come calling, in a film that has been perceived as a comment on the cronyism and corruption plaguing Brazil. What we said: The unquiet spirit of Terrence Malick roams through this film’s rooms, and finally the ectoplasmid hands of M Night Shyamalan shimmer into view, grabbing the loose ends of the story’s beginning and end and tying them together. Part of a loose movement of films some are calling post-horror, David Lowery’s haunting meditation on love, loss and letting go stars Casey Affleck as a deceased musician whose sheet-wearing spirit form proves poignant, not preposterous. There is such intelligence and delicacy in Kore-eda’s film-making, such wit and understated humanity. What we said: In the hands of another film-maker, this situation might be the focus of a queasy black comedy.
