Disappointed that a department store chain didn't make you cry this year? Take a good look at yourself
Disappointed that a department store chain didn't make you cry this year? Take a good look at yourselfIn this year’s John Lewis advert, a woman ransacks through her memories to find a present for her sister gearing up for the plot twist in which one of the two central sisters turns out to be dead. Instead, it panned out onto the most impersonal scene imaginable: Oxford Street.
It’s fine: nothing on last year’s absurd but genius Venus flytrap spitting out headphones and slippers and Lego at a bemused family standing on the lawn, and the emotional stakes don’t come close to the previous year’s, in which a man learned to skateboard in a bid to bond with his foster child.
