- The story follows a spur-of-the-moment journey across Europe to reconnect with a daughter and attend a career tribute.
- After a festival run and brief theatrical window, the film began streaming globally on Netflix on Dec. 5.
- Reviews widely praise Clooney and especially Sandler, who is drawing early awards buzz for a nuanced turn.
