Jay Kelly

George Clooney plays an actor reflecting on his life and career in Noah Baumbach’s latest, which also stars Adam Sandler and Laura Dern.

When Jay Kelly is honoured with a lifetime achievement award, he sets off on a trip across Europe with his ‘team’, including his beloved, but all-too-often undervalued, manager Ron. However, Jay soon realises you can only outrun your demons for so long. And he has more than his fair share of them. Baumbach delivers a pitch-perfect exploration of fame, fatherhood and the price of art.
