Licorice Pizza

It was 1973 in the San Fernando Valley, and 15-year-old child actor Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) found himself falling hard for the free-spirited, 10-years-older Alana Kane (Alana Haim). As he looks to impress her with entrepreneurial hustle and innate chutzpah, her bemused interest may give way to something more. Paul Thomas Anderson's era-redolent, cameo-rich dramedy also stars Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Benny Safdie, Skyler Gisondo, and Bradley Cooper. 133 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
