It takes a special talent to wring so much warm, humane comedy out of such a screwy premise. But the real triumph is how Gondry uses it to champion no-budget indie filmmaking, salute cinema's unifying properties and thumb his nose at the Hollywood system. Bravo!

It's a stinker
Sorry folks, if you were expecting madcap hilarity, then stick to the trailer. In fact, the trailers preceeding this film were funnier than the feature. I don... read more »

Be Kind Rewind
- 14 Feb 2008
It's better to create than to consume, that's the liberating message in Michel Gondry's new comedy, though this declaration of independence inadvertently highlights some of the drawbacks associated with "am-auteurs". There's an authentic touch of genius in Michel Gondry. He's like one of those mad inventors in old black and white movies, devising brilliant contraptions of no practical use to man or beast. He's at his best in the short format of pop videos, commercials and YouTube doodles. In... Read more
