JAY KELLY
Jay Kelly is a 2025 comedy-drama film directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer. The film stars an ensemble cast that includes George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup. It follows a friendship between a famous actor (Clooney) and his manager (Sandler) as they travel through Europe and reflect on their life choices, relationships, and legacies.[2]
The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on August 28, 2025, where it was nominated for the Golden Lion.[3] It will then be released in select theaters on November 14, 2025, followed by its global release on Netflix on December 5.
Plot
Jay Kelly, a well-known actor, finishes a scene where his character dies beside a dog. The animal comes in too early, and he snaps at it. The take ends. Crew members reset equipment while his manager, Ron, and publicist, Liz, hover nearby. They keep him calm and keep things moving, the way they always do.
He wants to spend a few quiet days with his youngest daughter, Daisy, before she leaves for Europe and starts college. He imagines a trip together. She has no interest. She wants to go off with her friends. The space between them has been growing for years, and neither of them knows how to close it.
News arrives that Peter Schneider, the director who once took a chance on Jay, has died. The guilt comes fast. A few months earlier, Schneider had asked Jay to attach his name to a new film to help get financing. Jay refused. The man’s career had been sliding, and Jay knows the rejection hurt him.
At the funeral, Schneider’s son talks about how hard the last few years had been. When the service ends, Jay runs into his old acting-school roommate, Tim, now a child psychologist. Ron tells him to skip the reunion, but Jay joins Tim for a drink. They start with stories from the old days. The mood turns sharp. Tim brings up the girlfriend Jay dated after him and the role that made Jay famous. He says Jay stole both. Words turn into a shove, and then a fight.
Jay leaves the bar bruised and angry. The next morning he drops out of his upcoming film with the Lewis Brothers and books a flight to Europe. Ron warns him that walking away could wreck what’s left of his career. Jay doesn’t care. He tells Ron they’ll call the trip a Dior appearance followed by an award ceremony in Tuscany.
Jay’s assistant tracks Daisy by checking one of her friend’s card transactions. By the time Jay and his team reach Paris, she’s already on a train out of the city. They follow. Onboard, Jay relaxes for the first time in months. People recognize him but treat him like one of them. He jokes, takes pictures, and invites a few to his tribute event. Then word spreads online that Tim is suing him for assault.
He finally finds Daisy in the dining car. The reunion lasts minutes. She figures out he used her friend’s card trail to find her. She’s furious. She and her friends walk off, leaving him with a bottle of sparkling water and a crowd pretending not to stare.
Ron and Liz sit a few cars away. They talk about the years they’ve spent managing Jay. They used to be together; now their lives revolve around his problems. Ron still resents the night she left him at the Eiffel Tower. Liz admits she’s missing time with her own daughter. Neither of them knows what they’re still doing there.
When a thief grabs an old woman’s handbag, Jay runs after him and gets it back. Someone films the chase. By the time they reach Tuscany, the clip has gone viral, and he’s being called a hero. Ron suggests inviting Jay’s father to join them. Jay agrees, thinking maybe that’s something he can still fix.
In Tuscany, the crowds are friendly and the wine flows. Ron leaves to meet another client, Ben Alcock, who fires him on the spot. Ron calls home, hoping for comfort, but the talk is stiff and short. Back at the party, Jay barely notices he’s gone. Later, Ron tells him Tim dropped the lawsuit after lawyers uncovered an old charge in Tim’s record.
Jay’s father arrives looking tired. Not long after, he has a dizzy spell and says he wants to go back to Maine. Jay pleads with him to stay, but the taxi drives off. Jay runs after it until it disappears around the corner.
He stands there for a long time. Then he calls his older daughter, Jessica, and asks her to visit. She refuses. She reminds him of the day she brought him to therapy, when the counselor read a letter she had written about missing him. He walked out before she finished.
Later, dressed in white, Jay kneels alone in a grove of trees. Ron’s cab pulls away. Jay runs after it and begs him to come to the tribute. Ron agrees but tells him their work together is over. Jay finally understands that he’s spent years confusing paid loyalty with love. At the tribute, facing the cameras, he pauses and says quietly, “Another shot.”
