	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The film sets up a mystery to be solved, and the fact that it doesn’t state the answer outright is part of the dramatic texture (...) 'Rewind' isn’t toying with us in a manipulative way"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A wrenching self-portrait that joins 'The Tale' and 'Leaving Neverland' on the list of essential recent films about the internalization of trauma."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"A deeply personal, revealing, and unforgettable piece of filmmaking (...) Neulinger’s courageous documentary transcends his own specific story to become something greater"
		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"An exceptionally courageous documentary (...) With its unflinching candour about both the nature of the abuse and the effect that it had on its victims, the film is a difficult and upsetting watch."
		Andrew Bundy The Playlist	"An astounding movie and a milestone in psychiatrically minded filmmaking"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Though difficult to watch, it's a film that helps outsiders confront the horrifying ways such events can cause damage for decades after the fact."
		Matt Fagerholm rogerebert.com	"A harrowing and courageous documentary (...) This is one of the year’s best films. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Watching 'Rewind' is harrowing, and one can only imagine how painful it was to make."
