Jay Kelly
Rating:
The most glamorous red-carpet scenes of this year’s Venice Film Festival – at last night’s world premiere of Jay Kelly, starring George Clooney as a world-famous movie star – preceded what is thus far the event’s most disappointing picture.
Expectations of this Netflix comedy, by writer-director Noah Baumbach, were sky-high.
After all, Baumbach’s credits include the awards-festooned Marriage Story (2019), while Jay Kelly’s glittering cast also features Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, the director’s real-life partner Greta Gerwig, and his co-writer Emily Mortimer.
