Noting that the user name of the page creator seems to be tied to the film project. Page neutrality appears neutral tho, no template placed. @ Baby Driver 1980: are you directly involved with the production? If so, might want to review WP:COI just to make sure there're no issues.

Baby Driver (film) → Baby Driver – The film is the primary topic. Currently the target is an unrelated non-notable novel. A hatnote works fine. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 21:33, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
I work for Rubenstein on behalf of Media Rights Capital. Meryl Streep is not a cast member of this film. The CinemaBlend article used as the citation does not support the claim that Streep is a cast member and she is not listed as a cast member on IMDB [1]. Would an editor mind removing her name from the cast section? NinaSpezz ( talk) 14:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Putting the character's true names in the cast section constitutes spoilers and as such has been removed. — Preceding

While music is an extremely important factor in the film, it's not a musical. The characters don't sing any of the songs, which is what defines a musical. JDDJS ( talk) 01:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
The film is based around the way it syncs to the soundtracks. I can't think of a good way to integrate this into the article, but it's clearly a major aspect of the movie, if not the primary aspect, and is notable enough that it must be mentioned. cnte ( talk) 03:05, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Take a look at the info block for the page for There Will Be Blood; it includes American Sign Language as one of the languages, mainly towards the end of that film.
Since there is sign language used throughout the film (despite there being subtitles unlike in TWBB), shouldn't it be included in the info block next to language for Baby Driver? If not, then why is it listed in language for TWBB anyways? - Theironminer ( talk) 20:06, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
"The final shot of the movie shows Baby being released from prison with Debora waiting for him on the other side of the gate as the two embrace, leaving the audience to decide if this happy ending is a figment of Baby's imagination, or Baby actually being released after serving a short prison sentence."
Er, is that a thing? Because I think that's the writer's interpretation rather than a concrete fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.129.85.122 ( talk) 22:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
It's absolutely speculation that the ending is real and not a dream. Come on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.232.57.174 ( talk) 23:11, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
It's not speculation, the dream is clearly in black-and-white earlier in the movie. It turning into color and revealing the prison in the background is supposed to show it's real. 81.233.184.201 ( talk) 06:53, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
It's open to interpretation as stated by Edgar Wright. Quote "I think the end scene is up for interpretation. And I sort of learned quickly through the test screening process that I should let people interpret it how they want. I think it's an important thing with movies where you don't have to state your actual intention because nobody's response to it is wrong. I think that's a good thing to do; you don't want to have anybody say, 'No, you're wrong, you read that wrong.' It's better if you have two different interpretations." I'm reinstating the original line as it appears to be correct. Hippiemancam ( talk) 15:29, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Baby Driver is a 2017 action comedy film... There's certainly a lot of witty dialogue, but I'd call it an action film rather than an action comedy film. JH ( talk page) 21:16, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
Is this film an uncredited remake of the Walter Hill Ryan O'Neal 1978 film The Driver? Foofbun ( talk) 23:31, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Alright, proper review time. I'll do the obligatory mention that I, too, have a
Good Article nominee, but, of course, you are under no obligation to review it. Do so only if you would like.

As of December 27, 2018: This is very close to GA status. Minor clarifications are needed for sourcing and prose. My biggest concern right now appears to be neutrality and original research in the Analysis section, detailed blow. Please see full comments.
As of January 4, 2019: Just missing the finalized fixes for the Critical Reception and one phrasing fix.
As of January 11, 2019: All concerns addressed here. Article is well-written, broad in the discussion of the film, and is non-biased.
Giving this its own section as I have multiple problems with it. First, it really should be titled themes, since that what the section appears to be, per MOS:FILM. Like the critical reception section, some sources too loosely relate to information, and, neither source labels the story a redemption story. Source 64 mentions redemption, but not in that context. Source #67 does relate to some pieces of it, so it should be named, duplicated, and put next to said information, for clarity's sake. Overall though, this paragraph and the whole section does appear to have a decent amount of original research, which needs to be sourced or omitted accordingly.
Please see above for summary. I await your changes, and great job overall on the article, DAP388! DanielleTH (Say hi!) 20:54, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
