Philip De Semlyen Time Out It’s a funny as well as brutally honest film. Rated: 5/5 Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Hannah Strong Little White Lies This film is a remarkable tribute to Adrian, poignant and precise, spliced together from clips and fragments like a moving family photo album. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap McElwee's approach elevates this beautiful, tragic movie from powerful to profound. Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Warren Cantrell The Playlist “Remake” succeeds where so many others fail because it refuses to tell a story and instead poses one larger question about a person’s life’s work. Rated: A- Sep 8, 2025 Full Review Michael Sicinski In Review Online Given the subject matter of Remake, it’s impossible not to be moved by it. McElwee’s pain saturates every frame, and is made even more poignant by his attempts to keep his agony at bay. Sep 6, 2025 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest [McElwee] again uses his own experience in a profound new way to show how to keep things alive you have to continually challenge them.
