In 2020, Jacobs directed French Exit, based on Patrick deWitt's novel, featuring Michelle Pfeiffer in a role Variety deemed unforgettable. The film received multiple award nominations, including a Golden Globe, and won Best Actress at the Canadian Screen Awards.

His latest film, His Three Daughters, premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and was acquired by Netflix for a 2024 release. The film, written, directed, edited, and produced by Jacobs, stars Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Olsen, and Carrie Coon in critically acclaimed performances.
