“When I look at you, I see my whole life!” Netflix has debuted their main official trailer for the film Jay Kelly, the latest by filmmaker Noah Baumbach after Marriage Story & White Noise. It first premiered at the 2025 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals, and it will play at NYFF next this weekend. The very meta story is about a super famous movie star named Jay Kelly, played by George Clooney, as he heads to a film festival in Europe contemplating his successful life. Jay Kelly and his devoted manager Ron embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey in Europe. They will confront choices they’ve made, relationships with loved ones and the legacies they’ll leave behind. The huge ensemble cast features George Clooney as Jay Kelly and Adam Sandler as his long-time manager, plus Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Greta Gerwig, Eve Hewson, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Emily Mortimer, & many more. “You’re never alone.” “Really? I think I’m always alone.” Ha ha. Featuring a new score by Nicholas Britell, and cinematography by the maestro Linus Sandgren (of La La Land). This isn’t the best movie of the year, but it is still an entirely endearing tale of a famous actor understanding his life & his place in the world. It’s worth a watch anyway. // Continue Reading ›
