Review of Licorice Pizza (2021) by Claytaylor21 — 31 Dec 2021

Licorice Pizza is pure unadulterated fun. This all starts with the fantastic central characters. Gary Valentine and Alana Kane are two of the most fun characters of the year. They are both well-written and fleshed out while being brought to life by great performances from Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman.

Watching these two grow up together while having fun and wreaking havoc on Hollywood was an absolute joy. The only problem I have with this film is the discombobulated story. It's all over the place without any real focus.

This was mostly fine with me because of how much fun I was having, but it probably would've made the conclusion a bit more satisfying had the plot been just a bit more structured. I still really enjoyed the movie and would definitely recommend anyone to check it out.
