It's nutty and intriguing, if occasionally exhausting; it's neither easily summarized nor described, and perhaps that's the best thing about it.

The pitfall of a tantalizing set-up is that it requires a sterling payoff to match - a recipe for disappointment born out by "Rebirth," whose premise-establishing early passages lead only to underwhelming revelations.

Slant Magazine

Karl Mueller convincingly posits freedom as being elusive because it's essentially a violation of human nature.

The Film Experience

The story has a lot of fun nesting-doll itself outward so you're never quite sure where its fantasy ends and total oblivion begins

Way Too Indie

While Mueller provides enough intrigue to keep viewers guessing, he has a hard time coming up with a proper conclusion for his small-scale mind games.

Rated: 6/10

We Got This Covered

A boring, unfunny attempt at satire, Rebirth fails on every narrative, structural and cinematic level.

Terrible! I skipped through parts of it, it was so horrible. There aren't any good, creative script writers these days. This is just showing people how to be a fraudster and cult leader. Nothing more. The guy gives away all his money..so sad.

The movie itself is well made, the plot is a bit boring in the beginning, but progress over time and escalate to the point where you don't know what the hell is all about, what's real and what's not. The end is kinda disappointing, for me at least, not concluded and by the end of it, I'm still not sure what did I watch. Watch it if you don't have anything smarter to do with your time.

Really slow. Boring. The lead character was a wimp. If he had just punched his captors from the beginning, none of his bad shit would have happened. Maybe, this film does a good job by explaining that people should not trust authority.
