The new George Clooney drama Jay Kelly has arrived on Netflix, but what songs are in the movie? Find out below.
The film sees Clooney playing a celebrated movie star who travels across Europe with his manager, played by Adam Sandler, and publicist, played by Laura Dern. They reflect on their lives and the choices they have made, the relationships they have built and their legacies.
Jay Kelly is directed by Noah Baumbach, the acclaimed auteur behind Marriage Story, Frances Ha, White Noise and The Squid And The Whale, and Baumbach has also co-written the screenplay alongside Emily Mortimer, the actor known for Paddington, Mary Poppins Returns and Hugo.
Check out the trailer for Jay Kelly here:
The film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in August and was released onto Netflix on Friday (December 5), after a limited theatrical release in some parts of the world.
In a four-star review, NME wrote: “There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to go alongside all the feelings. A meeting between Sandler’s Ron and his client Patrick Wilson plays out like a break-up, and running gags around Jay’s rider demands keeps things upbeat. At times, Jay Kelly does smack of self-indulgence but a sharp script and beautiful acting keeps it consistently entertaining. With a prevailing wind, it could even pick up some awards attention, particularly for Clooney, Sandler and Keach.”
NME also recently interviewed Clooney and Sandler about their favourite albums, with the former picking The Beatles classic ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’, and Sandler plumping for Hole’s ‘Live Through This’.
