Rewind

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.

"Rewind" unfolds as a poignant narrative for couples yearning to rewrite their past, delivering a heartfelt exploration of the universal desire for second chances. The film skillfully captures the complexities of relationships, prompting viewers to reflect on their own lives and appreciate the significance of each moment spent with loved ones. Through the journey of the husband and wife protagonists, "Rewind" serves as a gentle reminder to cherish the present and prioritize the people who matter most. The storyline also delicately underscores the importance of individuality within the context of marriage, particularly urging wives not to lose sight of their own identity in the pursuit of shared goals. With its emotional depth and relatable themes, "Rewind" is a compelling cinematic experience that resonates long after the credits roll.

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!

I've never been in movie houses since long time ago, more so for a Filipino movie. There's 3 movies that captures my attention to this year's MMFF namely Firefly, GomBurZa & Rewind. I got some resource to spend on for just 1 movie and so I decided to watch Rewind for a simple reason.. I have a soft spot for works of art relating to the gift of life & family for years now, and Rewind happens to have that based on its synopsis. Thankfully, it didnt disappoint.

This movie is a realization of faith, whether its faith to God and His plans, your loved one, or to your craft.. its a realization for all walks of life. And when it kicks in, it hits to the core.. and there's no holding back those tears.

Hands down to Dingdong, Marian & Pepe for portraying John, Mary & Jess/Lods respectively. The nominations are all well-deserved. And I wont have a single doubt if they actually won acting awards in the future for this. Nakakainis kayo! Halos kasisimula pa lang, parang sinisipon na ako. Buti na lang hindi ako nag-iisa, isang tulo, tingin o hikbi lang, nakakadala na..

Good word of mouth for the film definitely deserves it. It's a Filipino film that made my faith to Philippine drama close to what I hope it to be.

P. S. That subtle "Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay" instrumental bg music is well placed. It didnt felt too repetitive at all.. even though it was the only song I heard of being played all throughout the film. And when the vocals finally volumes up, wow! So satisfying! I liked it before and love it now.

I really watched this movie and it really made me cry. The One and Only Primetime Queen acted very well. It's a shame it was underrated but it was a hit at the box office. I didn't think it would make me cry. It's like you lost your breath when you watched it. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The best actor is also their acting. It's really big. Congratulations To Everyone Who Made This Movie, So We Should Appreciate Our Loved Ones Before They Lose Because in The Reality Of Life there's No Rewind, No Second Chance Thank You For Showing Us The Reality, For Showing That Our Life Is Only One We Should Appreciate It Thank You Solid Dongyan.
