Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) 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. Rated: 1.5/5 Jun 12, 2009 Full Review Kamal Al-Solaylee Globe and Mail A forceful, vibrant and immensely entertaining call to action. Rated: 3/4 Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Greg Quill Toronto Star A half-baked, poorly argued assault on the very notion of the sanctity of intellectual property posing as cutting-edge cinema. Rated: 2/4 Mar 13, 2009 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Rip is a dazzling frontal assault on how corporate culture is using copyright law to muzzle freedom of expression. Jan 2, 2018 Full Review Dorothy Woodend The Tyee (British Columbia) The film is so wadded full with ideas that they come squishing out the sides. Aug 22, 2017 Full Review Dan Jardine Cinemania A healthy punk attitude informs this documentary. Rated: 70/100 Jul 11, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review markus m 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Powerful and based on strong arguments, it's a punch against abuse of copyright laws, but more focus could have strengthened the message. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Easily my favorite movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member an interesting debate about who owns culture Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
