Storyline 5/10 Acting 6/10 The title is a dead giveaway. Even a child can guess what happens next. There's nothing special about this film or i just don't see it. The acting is awful especially the kid who played Austin. Im sure there are other talented child actors out there and yet there he goes practically reading his lines with an emotionless face. There were probably 5 scenes and they just repeated it. Same place, same clothes, different lines. The plot is too simple-- nothing intriguing, curious, or interesting about it. The timeline is also too short for someone to realize something profound. The fact that an hour before his death, john was still acting immature only proves how he learned nothing. Well duh-- how will someone change his entire personality overnight? How dull. Quite disappointing since i thought i was in for a good drama.

The movie's plot is its powerful asset. It teaches you about the most important things in life- love and sacrifice, forgetting oneself for the people you love, making the most of your time, a trusting relationship with God. Perhaps the message has been delivered so direct to the viewer's plate, but the effect is good all in all. The actors did a good job, especially Dingdong. If you want a feel good movie that makes you reflect about your own life at the same time, then Rewind is for you to see (perfect for the MMFF season!). It has a universal appeal even if the culture and values portrayed are strongly Filipino. For Filipinos, it affirms the good feeling of being born into this culture.

Made me cry. Let's cherish the time we have with our love ones, we never know when, how, and where tayo mawawala. "Rewind" delves into themes of forgiveness, the consequences of one's actions, and the importance of cherishing every moment. It explores the idea that while one might have the power to change the past, the true essence of life lies in accepting and learning from it. The film encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives and relationships, making it a thought-provoking watch. "Rewind" is a beautifully crafted film that showcases the exceptional talents of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera. With its engaging storyline, powerful performances, and stunning visuals, it is a must-watch for fans of Filipino cinema and romantic dramas. While some plot elements may be predictable, the film's emotional depth and the chemistry between its leads more than make up for it. "Rewind" is a testament to the enduring appeal of love stories and the magic of second chances.

This movie is the first movie that actually made me cry. There was just some scenes that I can relate and affected me so maybe it was an exception, but some scenes (especially the scenes near the end) definitely was so sad. Although the storyline and the concept of the film was common, there was personal twists added. The acting and chemistry of the real-life couple Marian Rivera & Dingdong Dantes really carried out the film, as well as the extraordinary quality of the film. If you are planning to watch movies from the MMFF 2023, this one should be your first choice. I promise you... this is so worth it!
