It first premiered at the 2025 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals, and begins playing in theaters starting this week before it’s on Netflix in December. Jay Kelly and his devoted manager Ron embark upon a whirlwind, profound journey across Europe. They confront choices they’ve made, relationships with loved ones and the legacies they will leave behind. The huge ensemble cast features George Clooney as Jay Kelly and Adam Sandler as his long-time manager, plus Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Greta Gerwig, Eve Hewson, Alba Rohrwacher, Josh Hamilton, Lenny Henry, Emily Mortimer, & many more. “You’re never alone.” “Really? I think I’m always alone.” This is a wonderful film about being an actor, and about being human and how making movies connects us all anyway. This featurette focuses on Clooney as an actor, with a few behind-the-scenes glimpses. Mostly it features other cast & crew talking about how much they enjoyed working with George on this & his humility.
