Questioning himself and his entire filmmaking career throughout, McElwee creates an incredibly meaningful meditation on loss and documentation.

McElwee developed his own style of memoir cinema informed by direct cinema - elevating the mundane texture of daily life to a large artistic canvas, uniquely creating a true observational film from within the confines of his own archive. 

“His films document the present, but they also preserve the past in amber and point towards an uncertain future. Remake, like all of McElwee’s personal cinema, embodies the passage of time itself. In other words, it’s the stuff of life.”- IndieWire
