Licorice Pizza is the timeless story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around, and falling in love in the San Fernando Valley in 1973. "This hypnotically gorgeous, funny, romantic movie freewheels its way around from scene to scene, from character to character, from setpiece to setpiece, with absolute mastery." * "Paul Thomas Anderson's most lovable and magical work to date. The breakthrough performances from Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman are so magnetic and natural that they feel like some kind of miracle." ** "Watching Licorice Pizza is like watching life with all the boring parts cut out and like watching movies with all the phony parts cut out." Featuring performances by Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, and Benny Safdie.
