First-time actors Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman (Philip Seymour’s son) propel Paul Thomas Anderson’s endearing movie, a throwback to early-1970s Southern California.
Licorice Pizza offers a slice-of-life look at how it felt to grow up on the fringes of the film industry circa 1973, seen through the eyes of ambitious former child actor plotting how to follow up his early screen career.
