Rewind

About This Movie

Rewind is a heavy, emotional documentary that's both haunting and deeply personal. Directed by Sasha Joseph Neulinger, the film unfolds as he sifts through his father's home videos, piecing together a childhood marred by trauma and abuse. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the gravity of the revelations without rushing through them. There's this rawness in the way Neulinger confronts his past, blending personal narrative with broader themes of familial cycles and silence. The visuals are largely intimate, a stark contrast to the darkness of the subject matter. It's distinct in how it uses home video footage—not just as nostalgia but as a lens to uncover buried truths, making it strikingly impactful and thought-provoking.
