YES, for the love of god, yes!
For two months now I’ve been searching for the word(s) to explain how and why Drive is so important for The Way We Are Now, and perhaps “sexy” is it. Also the fact that he’s pursued an entire career out of mocking the less rarefied choices of similar-vintage Canadian kid star Ryan Reynolds is so cruelly bad-ass it deserves at least one end-year superlative.
(Another wonderful absurdity of Drive: hiring Carey Mulligan, and making her learn to speak American, in order to play a character almost certainly based on Michele Williams.)
(The actual winner of the prize was Bradley Cooper, the guy from the West Wing.)
