Jay Kelly (Netflix) -- a film for grown-ups [View all]

Rotten Tomatoes: The new film from Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. Along the way, both men are forced to confront the choices they've made, the relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they'll leave behind.

Very well done. Young 'uns might not quite get it, which could explain harsher critique on social media platforms like IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. Adam Sandler, not usually considered for serious acting roles, gives a stellar performance.

Clooney is perfect.

"One of the great, defining roles of George Clooney’s career." -- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
