Review of Licorice Pizza (2021) by Dawdlingpoet — 10 Sep 2022

This is a film that's very much nostalgia based - a coming of age tale with a good soundtrack and some good cinematography/camerawork - it features a fair bit of soft focus. It does have a bit of a seedy feel at times, due to the plot - there's not too much graphic content but it may make some feel a bit uncomfortable, due to the age difference between characters.

The cast do a decent job with their performances and while its categorised as a drama, it has quite a laidback feel generally speaking. It's a bit like a summer holiday romance depicted on screen. I enjoyed it for the most part - the scenes with Sean Penn were quite good and yes, I'd recommend it.
