Licorice Pizza

Paul Thomas Anderson's golden, shimmering vision of the 1970s San Fernando Valley in Licorice Pizza is so dreamy, so full of possibility, it's as if it couldn't actually have existed.

With its lengthy, magic-hour walk-andtalks and its sense of adventure around every corner and down every block, it's a place where anything could happen as day turns to night.

It's probably one of the best coming of age movies you'll ever see, one of those fantastic films that doesn't necessarily have a compelling plot or a big power to it.

It's just a collection of rich and engaging sketches that are beautifully presented and so much fun.

There are numerous deliciously quirky and bizarre story beats that make for a very hilarious, heart-warming and sensitive screenplay.

The script is razor sharp, witty and entertaining.
