Johnson has created a movie that mostly kept me riveted and highly entertained.

| Original Score: B | Jul 19, 2018

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.

| Original Score: 6.7/10 | Jul 19, 2018

The real treat of Rewind This! is the geek-speak about VHS tapes telling uniquely distinct stories.

| Original Score: B | Jun 28, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 8, 2016

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.

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.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 9, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 9, 2013

The film is ultimately less interested in giving an objective overview of VHS' history than in paying loving, irreverent tribute to some of the strange subcultures that sprung up in the home-video world.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 4, 2013

Johnson's savvy authority ensures that "Rewind This!" will leave many film-and-video lovers begging for more.

Perhaps the best compliment I can pay the film is to say that it made me want to go down in my basement and dig through all those old VHS tapes that I have boxed up.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2013

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

Rewind This! didn't delve into every corner of VHS I might have wished, but it introduced plenty I'd never thought of.
