1.5/5
There are better guides to the subject than Gaylor, who discusses everything from Napster to pharmaceutical patents without ever varying his dated we-the-people rhetoric. Go to Full Review

A forceful, vibrant and immensely entertaining call to action. Go to Full Review

2/4
A half-baked, poorly argued assault on the very notion of the sanctity of intellectual property posing as cutting-edge cinema. Go to Full Review
Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 01/02/2018
Rip is a dazzling frontal assault on how corporate culture is using copyright law to muzzle freedom of expression. Go to Full Review
Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) 08/22/2017

04/21/2020 Overly dramatic. Makes it hard to agree (even though I kind of do) with the author when they are that dramatic and when they present such an unlovable character in such an unlovable way as they did Girl Talk. See more markus m 10/15/2014 A documentary about an incredibly important subject that highlights many of the key points that need to be made about the subject, but that unfortunately disregards any and all nuances present in the issue, instead relying on poor rhetoric based on a black-and-white worldview, which is a shame considering the point it's trying to make is actually an important one. See more 03/10/2014 Expertly edited and directed, plus being overall well made, Brett Gaylor's RIP!: A Remix Manifesto is truly a supremely fascinating documentary whose ideas are expressed honestly and will surely connect with many younger people in this day and age of copyright regulations, even if it's already somewhat dated in aspects. See more 01/12/2014 Powerful and based on strong arguments, it's a punch against abuse of copyright laws, but more focus could have strengthened the message.
