Jay Kelly

Jay Kelly is a great movie star. At 60 years old, he has entered a life crisis. An important film festival is going to hold a tribute in his honor, which will lead him to embark on a journey through Europe with his loyal agent, Ron, very intense, unexpected, and dizzying. 

Along the way, he will encounter some faces he never expected to see again, ghosts from his past. Kelly will find himself caught up in a reckoning: he must confront all the decisions he has made, the way he has treated his loved ones, and the legacy he will leave behind. 

The Oscar-nominated director of 'Marriage Story' returns with a feature film, 'Jay Kelly', co-written with Emily Mortimer. A coming-of-age story in adulthood, when you would expect to have answers, but instead, all that invades you are questions. 

George Clooney, Adam Sandler, and Laura Dern lead a cast that includes Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, and Greta Gerwig, in a film that is filled with references to the Golden Age of Hollywood, perfectly showing what actors can represent for viewers. 

A mix of humor and sensitivity that brings us closer to the human experience, showcasing contradictions and stumbles during adulthood, the internal struggle for maturity.
