Review of Licorice Pizza (2021) by Jayquiroz — 26 Dec 2021

Look it's shot very well and acted but that's about it. I hated every character one way or another, the story was non existent and boring, and I can kinda forgive that.. but this is one of the most uncomfortable and plain wrong movies you'll ever see. Gary is 15 and Alana is 25 (maybe 28 but it's not confirmed) and throughout the whole movie a romance is building between two toxic and horrible people and by the end the finale is simply undeserved and almost demands audiences to love it and cheer and yet all I can think is "... He's 15".

And that's just it, I can forgive some movie sins but glorifying pedophilia? I draw the line there, I regret ever watching this. I give it a 4 because it truly is masterfully made and acted and there is some entertainment here but the negatives definitely outweigh the positives.
