Italy/UK/US • d: Noah Baumbach • R • 132m
When Jay Kelly (George Clooney), a past-his-prime movie star, attends the funeral of a friend (Jim Broadbent), he starts a fistfight with a rival (Billy Crudup) and thus triggers a personal crisis. Soon, Jay has embarked on a deep, funny and late-in-the-game quest to better know his emotional and psychic world (which, hitherto, he’s fastidiously avoided.) In Noah Baumbach’s painfully funny journey of memory and discovery, Clooney is effortlessly commanding as he captures Jay’s insecurity and self-absorption. Adam Sandler, as Jay’s long-suffering manager, gives a fine performance, as does the stellar supporting cast: Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Emily Mortimer, Patrick Wilson, Greta Gerwig, Alba Rohrwacher, Stacy Keach and Lars Eidinger. Baumbach wrote his emotionally layered and deeply affecting film with Mortimer, and it joins the list of supreme films about the psyche of the motion picture world, along with Fellini’s 8 1/2 and Woody Allen’s STARDUST MEMORIES.
