George Clooney’s new comedy-drama Jay Kelly has just landed on streaming, and it’s one you won’t want to miss! The film sees the Academy Award-winner play a famous movie star who goes on a “whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey” through Europe.

Jay Kelly comes from writer-director Noah Baumbach, who co-wrote the screenplay with Emily Mortimer, and features performances from Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Jim Broadbent, Greta Gerwig and Lenny Henry.

The film follows the titular character (played by Clooney) and his manager Ron Sukenick (Sandler) as they are “forced to confront the choices they’ve made, the relationships with their loved ones and the legacies they’ll leave behind”.

After much anticipation following its world premiere at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in August, Jay Kelly is now finally available to watch worldwide, with the film streaming on Netflix.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the comedy-drama currently has a solid approval rating of 77% from 157 reviews, with The Wall Street Journal calling it Baumbach’s “funniest and finest movie in many years”

They added that it was “perfection all the way through” thanks to the “perfect casting choice, perfect balance of comedy and pathos [and] the perfect wacky route to the perfect ending”, while The Daily Telegraph labelled it a “masterpiece” that will “reduce you to tears”.

“Jay Kelly is a fictional inside-the-movie-world portrait that’s been made with a great deal of care and affection and entertaining dish; it’s the definition of a movie that goes down easy,” opined Variety.

Little White Lies was less effusive in their praise, suggesting that, while Jay Kelly “isn’t breaking new ground”, it was “a charming [and] wistful take on what lies beneath the myth of celebrity”.

“It’s a very meta Hollywood version of A Christmas Carol, with Clooney brandishing both his signature grin and palpable gravitas as a man shown the consequences of his existence not via ghosts but his own conscience,” added USA Today.

Jay Kelly is streaming now on Netflix worldwide.
