Be Kind Rewind

2008

Directed by Michel Gondry

You name it, we shoot it.

A man whose brain becomes magnetized unintentionally destroys every tape in his friend's video store. In order to satisfy the store's most loyal renter, an aging woman with signs of dementia, the two men set out to remake the lost films.

Review by demi adejuyigbe ★★★★½ 13

"Our past belongs to us, we can change it if we want."
The majority of this movie just does not work at all unless you apply a new lens to it– that every character we see is meant to actually be like, a third of their age. Then, it's kind of a masterpiece to me. Everything about this film begs you to see it as a childhood tale, from all the logic to all of the execution to all of the choices and decisions people make. Feels spiritually connected to Hot Rod in that sense (and really feels like the spiritual bridge between Hot Rod and Brigsby Bear!)
Ultimately, this is a movie about stories and legends. About keeping the…

cried again :) one day i am going to retire and work in a video store and make silly little videos with the community
Review by Silent J ★★★★½ 1

A near perfect film not only for the movie lover in you, but for the wannabe filmmaker in all of us.
Review by Wood ★★★★★ 1

Y'all know the only thing I like more than rappers acting is movies about making movies.
One time my dad caught some of this on tv and legit thought Jack Black was in a Ghostbusters movie.
Review by Matt The Snapper ★★★★ 1

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Has a better live action Lion King remake than the actual remake.
Review by ani ★★★★★ 1

Rejecting film as solely extant in IP, and accepting it as a truly collaborative document of the shared history and myths of a community, surviving even in the face of the institutions (i.e. Hollywood itself, gentrifiers) that will do everything in their power to suppress it. One of the greatest films ever made.
Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★½

If it had been 100% Sweded the film could have easily earned 5 stars!
Review by Ed Glendenning ★★★★ 4

The final screening scenes in Be Kind Rewind, made me cry, for some reason.
Review by olivia 🏳️‍⚧️ 🍉 ★★★½

I love movies, and I love movies that love movies
Review by FilmApe ★★★★ 3

Less a love letter to cinema, and more a love letter to the beauty of artistic expression, collaboration, and community. I dig that Mos Def and Jack Black share the lead role. It lets them both be a bit weirder than if they had to carry the film on their own.
Review by Zā ★★½ 2

My favorite genre of film is Sigourney Weaver appearing on screen for less than five minutes, but still somehow being the best part of the film while wearing a powersuit of some sort.
Review by Sienna D ★★★½ 1

This film as a whole is incredibly lopsided yet manages to be entirely lovable and enjoyable.
