I've since never been able to replicate the experience. Rated: A+ Apr 17, 2015 Full Review Drive (2011) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Drive (2011) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Drive (2011) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Drive (2011) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Refn affirms his talents as a genre filmmaker and indulges in excesses and clichés reminiscent of '70s and '80s productions.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review 80er F Von der Atmosphäre, über die Handlung, bis hin zum Soundtrack.Ein Meisterwerk, das einen noch tagelang Gefangenen hält. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Daddy T Ryan goslings best performance and fantastic movie Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Akash A The shots, landscape, and scenery was gorgeous. It's like an arthouse film. I thought the plot wasn't too hefty, or rather, not as well executed as it could have been. I read that the lead character was intended to be like a "wanna-be superhero" as per the director / Ryan Gosling.I suppose that adds to why he was the way he was. Regardless, his acting was great, and his poise was something.I suppose there's a good plot, and then the execution / timing of said plot. Something here wasn't all that, but it was a decent movie. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Audience Member Will forever be a top 10 favorite movie of my mine Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Tristan C Drive masterfully blends elements of noir, thriller, and drama, creating an atmospheric and immersive experience. Ryan Gosling's portrayal of the enigmatic Driver is compelling, his quiet intensity and moral ambiguity drawing viewers deeper into the story. The supporting cast deliver powerful performances that add depth and complexity to the narrative.The cinematography by Newton Thomas Sigel is nothing short of stunning, capturing the gritty, neon-lit streets of Los Angeles with a stylish flair that enhances the film's mood. The soundtrack, featuring a mix of synth-pop and ambient tracks, perfectly complements the visuals, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that lingers long after the credits roll.While "Drive" may not cater to those expecting non-stop action, its deliberate pacing and character-driven plot offer a refreshing alternative to conventional genre fare. Director Nicolas Winding Refn's unique vision and meticulous attention to detail make "Drive" a standout film that defies easy categorization. It's a movie that challenges and rewards its audience, leaving a lasting impression with its bold storytelling and striking aesthetic.In conclusion, "Drive" is a must-see for anyone looking to explore the boundaries of genre filmmaking. Its blend of style, substance, and suspense makes it a memorable and impactful cinematic experience. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
