If you read the full title here, then the film is almost over as this one only runs for 90 seconds. "Cadillac: How Do You Drive with Scissorhands?" summarizes that here we have a commercial for the car manufacturer Cadillac or to be more precise for their newest car that brings a technology with which you have to use your hands less than with most other cars. And in order to promote this they got prolific short film director David Shane, but most of all Oscar-nominated actors Timothée Chalamet and Winona Ryder, which is a bit special with the latter because you can say that this is pretty much a very brief sequel to the original Edward Scissorhands that teaches us about said character's son. And the father's genes have been really dominant here because Chalamet looks pretty much like Depp in that movie in terms of make-up work and how he has scissors instead of hands.
The film starts with a bit of a collection of very brief snippets how his scissors are useful when it comes to cutting pineapple for his ma or preparing meals quickly, but also with how they are not so useful when he has to take the train or the bus or struggles with his physics studies at the university. Overall, some okay inclusions, but nothing genuinely creative. The problem is also that it feels really rushed. There is easily the material here for twice or three times the running time, but as tehy only went with 1.5 minutes, it feels really too fast in my opinion and you can barely laugh at or at least smile at one inclusion before the next one is over already. The ending with the car revelation and why it is perfect for Scissorhands felt a bit forced and for the sake of it. For a commercial, it is still surely above-average, not only because of the cast, but as are rating movies on this site here, I give the overall outcome four out of ten and a negative recommendation. For a commercial, it would have been two stars more. In general, I think you can watch it if you are a big Chalamet or Ryder fan, but if not, then just skip it altogether and even if you like/love these two, don't expect greatness or anything.
