Licorice Pizza

In the San Fernando Valley of 1973, a teenage entrepreneur and an older young woman form an unusual friendship while chasing ambitions, testing boundaries, and drifting through a series of comic adventures. Their connection develops amid show-business encounters, business schemes, confused feelings, and the unpredictable rhythms of first love.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like loose, nostalgic coming-of-age stories such as Submarine, with eccentric humor, memorable performances, and a dreamy 1970s atmosphere; Not for you if you want a tightly plotted romance or dislike the central age dynamic.
