Our take

George Clooney plays a movie star reflecting on fame and fatherhood in this M Netflix dramedy. The rating cites language only, but frequent f-words, drinking, sex references and mental-health talk including funeral fantasies appear. A brief film-set kiss and a prostitute photo appear. Dialogue-heavy; best for mature teens.

Uplifting themes

Kindness and facing past choices with family

Story (may spoil tone)

Famous movie actor Jay Kelly embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting both his past and present, accompanied by his devoted manager, Ron.
