‘Jay Kelly’ Has Too Much Jay Kelly
The title character of Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly is a movie star who looks and acts an awful lot like George Clooney. He’s got the crinkly eyes, the silver-fox coif, the world-weary gravitas embedded in a wolfish grin. Like Clooney, Jay has been acclaimed and, to some extent, accused for simply wringing out variations on the same alpha-male persona, over and over again. When we see a highlight reel of his greatest performances, it includes clips from Ocean’s Eleven, Out of Sight, and The Thin Red Line. Sadly, there’s nothing from Batman & Robin—an omission that’s probably for the best for both Jay Kelly and George Clooney. But it’s also a missed opportunity for a movie determined to blur certain lines between invented and authentic celebrity to score a genuine belly laugh, something to mix up the otherwise steady trickle of knowing, mirthless chuckles.
Sympathy for a Handsome Devil
Noah Baumbach’s new film, Jay Kelly, takes a gamble with its fantastically successful protagonist.
Noah Baumbach loves to find sympathy in unsympathetic subjects—the awkward title character of Greenberg, the caustic writer played by Nicole Kidman in Margot at the Wedding, the bitter divorced couple of Marriage Story. But he’s usually done it by mixing in plenty of bitter with just a touch of sweet. For his new movie, Jay Kelly, that formula is reversed in service of another character who might struggle to earn the viewer’s pity: a bored, aging movie star worried that he’s lived life the wrong way. It’s hard to know why anyone should feel a pang of understanding for Jay Kelly (played by George Clooney), but Baumbach relishes the challenge.
