“A complex, layered contemplation of grief, memory, family ties and the meaning of film-making as a profoundly personal activity, 
Remake is a richly rewarding experience – emotionally, narratively and philosophically.”
—Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

“A profound and piercing portrait of loss… McElwee’s latest documentary continues in the vein of his best work, albeit with more 
emotional weight than ever before”
—Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

“With his masterful “Remake,” McElwee documents 
a formative chapter in his life, when he was working on an adaptation of “March” into a narrative feature (and later a TV series),  
all of it shaped by the death of his son, Adrian.”
—Brian Tallerico, Roger Ebert

“‘Remake,’ like all of McElwee’s personal cinema, embody the passage of time itself. In other words, it’s the stuff of life.”
—Vikram Murthi, IndieWire

“[Remake] shows the power of candid storytelling 
on the healing process, and offers a new lens on 
how art can help us confront truth, and find solace.”
—Leo Barraclough, Variety

“It is both a self-examination and a reflection on 
image, reflection and memory.”
—Coen Van Zwol, NRC
