      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... Drive is a riveting watch. Rated: B+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com I'll never forget the first time I saw Drive. I've since never been able to replicate the experience. Rated: A+ Apr 17, 2015 Full Review David Thomson The New Republic What it had going for it was an uncanny and moving relationship between Gosling and Mulligan. Jun 24, 2013 Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET Drive is basically the coolest movie ever. Its dreamlike, electronic soundtrack -- perfect for travel at night -- layers meaningful messages into a violent fairy tale about an unconventional hero. Apr 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A patient, Jean-Pierre Melville-esque character study with flourishes of action. But it's more about atmosphere than adrenaline. Rated: 4/4 Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Refn affirms his talents as a genre filmmaker and indulges in excesses and clichés reminiscent of '70s and '80s productions. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Ryan and his character are enchanting. The movie left me with a newfound sense of freedom. And the soundtrack slaps. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/29/24 Full Review Toby G Exceptional. It starts as a slow burn but soon takes off like a rocket ship. Watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review eric g Glad I was able to see one of my all time favorite movies in theaters. The fact this got a C- on Cinemascore is absolutely shameful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Juaquin K Sorry I understand that there is like no story in this movie. But the action, music, stunts, direction, lightening are all so great! This is my Favorite Ryan film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Javier P So easy (soy ese): la película. Los memes decían la verdad. La inmersión, los detalles, el casting, la dirección, el cariño que le han puesto... De mis pelis favoritas. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review James F Drive is one of the best films of its kind I’ve seen. Goslings performance is stellar. The visuals, along with the editing, and the music. Absolutely perfect. I was expecting a ‘Baby Driver’ type film after I read the plot. But this movie is one of its own kind. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
