2008-02-24 - 6:24 p.m. Be Kind Rewind is a charming and soulful film, and quite funny. Anyone who has ever lived in a tight-knit urban neighborhood with a beloved (and threatened by extinction) local hangout will get its emotional tenor. I don't expect everything that Gondry does to be amazing--he's already given the world one insightful masterpiece, and that's enough, and, accordingly, this falls more into the category of a quiet, heartwarming entertainment. But I loved it. It seems fitting that my movie companions and I went to Fred's afterward. thoughts? (6 comments so far) previous - next blog archive contact
