Matt Roush says...
“Can we go again?” This is movie star Jay Kelly’s refrain on the set, never satisfied with his last take. As Jay, George Clooney still projects matinee-idol charisma — think latter-year Cary Grant — even while indulging in a melancholy malaise of regret over what he missed while pursuing fame and fortune. “My life doesn’t really feel real,” he laments in director/co-writer Noah Baumbach’s poignant and contemplative dramedy, arriving on the streamer after a brief theatrical release. At 60, Jay reluctantly agrees to accept a career tribute at a Tuscany film festival, hoping it will bring him closer to his estranged family. Along the way, he examines (through flashbacks) a life lived in the spotlight. With wonderful turns by Adam Sandler as Jay’s loyal but frustrated manager and Stacy Keach as Jay’s life-of-the-party dad.
