Usually, changing the characters' ages wouldn't be enough to say that remake is necessary. THE DRESSER 2015 is an exception. The story is about an actor who has played KING LEAR over 200 times and who's now struggling to stay sane. Him being over 70 instead of over 40 makes his current state seem more tragic. Also, the more years the title character has worked for him, the more loyal he comes off as. That adds extra layers. The performances are very good. That includes Ian McKellen's, whom I would've praised if his performance had been just decent. Tom Courtenay had set the bar very low with his awful performance.
