There's nary a trace of ironic detachment or condescension here, which is exceedingly rare for any depiction of geek culture. Aug 14, 2013

Rewind This! is somewhat lacking in big-name first-hand accounts. But where the film is on firmer territory is in championing those lovers of the format who have ignored DVD, Blu-ray and digital downloads in favour of keeping the VHS dream alive. Jul 19, 2018 | Rating: 6.7/10 | Full Review…

Though VHS' best days may have come and gone, Rewind This! certainly proves the case for the technology's enduring legacy by speaking with those who were there to live through it and with those who continue to collect and sell tapes even today. Jan 8, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

A hilarious and utterly excellent look back at a time where movie collecting was more of a sport and treasure hunt than a matter of simple point and click. Dec 17, 2013 | Full Review…

It's affectionate and educational, with enough visual evidence to act as a time machine, bringing viewers back to an era of movie-watching exploration and physical media worship. Sep 9, 2013 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

The film is elevated above the average 'these are a few of my favourite things' documentary by its willingness to take on larger narratives around the social, economic and literary significance of the genre, all in a fully accessible way. Sep 9, 2013 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…
