Eve Hewson’s journey to becoming Daphne, the haunting face from Jay’s past, began years ago when she landed her first major role in Paolo Sorrentino’s THIS MUST BE THE PLACE, a Sean Penn star vehicle that set her on a path through acclaimed projects like the Peabody Award-winning BAD SISTERS, THE PERFECT COUPLE, FLORA & SON, THE LUMINARIES, BEHIND HER EYES, THE 27 CLUB, TESLA, THE KNICK, and Steven Spielberg’s upcoming untitled science fiction film.
Now she appears in Noah Baumbach’s JAY KELLY, a deceptively simple title for a film that pretends to be about Hollywood but reveals itself as something far more universal. Baumbach, who directed and co-wrote with Emily Mortimer, insists that making a movie about an actor means inherently making a movie about identity and performance itself, about how we remeet and redefine ourselves as we accumulate experience and perhaps wisdom, externalizing what is fundamentally a human struggle through the clear metaphor of an actor’s life.
George Clooney embodies this struggle as Jay Kelly, a man in the later years of his career who finds himself confronting an uncomfortable truth: he may not have been such a great friend or father, having devoted himself instead to being really good at being a movie star. Daphne becomes the ghost who forces him to reckon with that past, a reminder of all the people and moments he left behind in his single-minded pursuit of fame, and in her presence Jay must finally face the difference between the persona he’s perfected and the person he’s neglected to become.
