Overview
- Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, the film premiered at Venice earlier this year and begins its theatrical run on Nov. 20.
- George Clooney plays a famous actor in personal crisis who covertly tails his younger daughter's European trip.
- Adam Sandler co-stars as the devoted manager, with Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Billy Crudup, Greta Gerwig and others in supporting roles.
- Baumbach embraces a retro approach with built sets and 35mm cinematography, shifting from his usual New York milieu to a Europe-set story.
- Reviews note engaging performances and craft but describe the film as predictable and overly sentimental, placing it below Baumbach’s top work.
