The visuals, coupled with some killer 1970s outfits and an utterly nostalgic soundtrack, render Licorice Pizza a feast for the senses, but it will also warm your heart. Gary and Alana's friendship is complicated, but very real. The film explores their unusual dynamic with care, and features moments of understated intimacy and heart-breaking vulnerability.
As well as being a touching coming-of-age story, Licorice Pizza is delightfully unpredictable. A kitsch song and dance number within the first 30 minutes lets the viewer know they're in for an endearing but wild ride. Additionally, the film is packed with celebrity cameos, including Bradley Cooper, Sean Penn, Maya Rudolph and Tom Waits. Despite these big names, it is our two leads that, quite rightfully, steal the show.
Licorice Pizza is currently playing in cinemas across Ireland.Explore more on these topics:
