George Clooney stars in Jay Kelly
Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its “heartbreaking” new comedy-drama film, Jay Kelly, and I will certainly be adding it to my autumn watchlist.
George Clooney stars in the film as the titular famous movie actor, who, along with his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler), embarks on a “whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe”.

The film, which comes from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Noah Baumbach, boasts a seriously impressive cast, including the likes of Laura Dern (Marriage Story, Little Women), Riley Keough (Zola, Daisy Jones & the Six) and Jim Broadbent (Gangs of New York, Bridget Jones’s Diary).
Jay Kelly arrives in cinemas on November 14 and on Netflix on December 5.
