Licorice Pizza 2021
The opening and ending are both pure magic <3
Haim and Hoffman are absolute stars and were always a complete joy to watch. The fucking charisma and charm of these two is unreal.
It’s a PTA film - it’s shot, edited, scored, and soundtracked wonderfully.
The pacing and emotional/narrative logic are sometimes a little strange and difficult to parse. In a way, it’s kind of PTA’s weirdest film, especially with the more playful content merging with his later style. Excited to watch it again, for the joy, but also for this specifically. The pacing, progression and clarity of the relationship was not what I expected, and its really great and -real-, but I’m excited to watch it again knowing what to expect to dig into it’s moment to moment emotional logic a bit more. Either way, it wasn’t a challenge at all to get emotionally invested in these characters.
Everyone did great, and the vignettes were all super fun, touching and hilarious.
More thoughts on my rewatch, but yeah, it was special <3
