Noah Baumbach's new film follows movie star Jay Kelly (George Clooney) & his manager (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a trip through Europe.

It has been thirty years since Noah Baumbach arrived on the scene with Kicking and Screaming (1995), a film that announced a generational talent. In Jay Kelly, Baumbach returns to some of the thornier areas of investigation in his work—the examination of failure, the endless complexities of family, and treacherous journeys of self-discovery. As uniquely embodied by George Clooney as the title character, and Adam Sandler as his endlessly loyal manager, we experience both the euphoria and pain of a creative life lived in the public eye. Co-written with Emily Mortimer and featuring an all-star line-up of acting talent, this is an "insiders" view that invites us all along for the ride.

2025. USA. Directed by Noah Baumbach. Screenplay by Baumbach, Emily Mortimer. With George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern. DCP courtesy Netflix. 132 min.
