“It’s a rather ingenious approach, and while the hit-rate isn’t perfect, creativity abounds—it’s astonishing how good some of the spots are, as well as how familiar—its clear how many of the tactics and techniques of the medium Callner has absorbed and re-appropriated. Yet within the jokes there is a tension. Advertising is designed to provoke feelings, and to be relatable to lived experience, but when grafted onto a life’s story arc, complete with joy and tragedy, the result is unnerving. How the film experiments with context in the way the scenes are shot and arranged within the story arc, and the juxtapositions therein, is compelling and slightly subversive.” S/W Curator, Chelsea Lupkin
