Jay Kelly, 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, their relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they’ll leave behind. 

A gripping character study played by a phenomenal George Clooney in the title role, Jay Kelly also stars Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, and Greta Gerwig. The end result is an entertaining mediation on identity, isolation, and celebrity - and how the hardest role to play in life is that of ourselves. 

Jay Kelly is a GEMS Centerpiece and has a higher price ticket, and is excluded from passes.
