Noah Baumbach has returned with another original film for the streaming service Netflix, as part of the writer/director's contract with the streamer following the success of his 2019 film Marriage Story. Titled Jay Kelly, the movie tells the story of the titular famous actor (George Clooney), his publicist Liz (Laura Dern), and manager Ron (Adam Sandler) during an impromptu trip to Europe as Kelly, who has nearly reached the end of his career, tries to make sense of the broken relationships in his life. The film has received positive reviews since its festival premiere, earning an 80% "certified fresh" rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.
