Rewind (2023) Review: Grief, Guilt and a Second Chance

Rewind is a Filipino time-travel melodrama in which a grieving husband gets a chance to relive the day he lost his family, anchored by Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.

Yes, with reservations. Viewers who enjoy an unashamed tearjerker will find it deeply affecting; those allergic to melodrama and loose fantasy rules should steer clear.
