Licorice Pizza [Available currently in theaters.] Paul Thomas Anderson's award-winning, Oscar-nominated, factually inspired, strange, coming-of-age, unevenly paced, star-studded (Maya Rudolph, Tom Waits, John C. Reilly, Christine Ebersole, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, George DiCaprio, and Joseph Cross), 131-minute comedy in which a surprising, on again and off again friendship develops between an ambitious, self-confident, hustling, 15-year-old high school student (Cooper Hoffman), who lives in the San Fernando Valley and has some success as a child actor, and a 10-years-older, feisty, cynical photographer's assistant (Alana Haim), who is frustrated with her Jewish parents (Moti and Donna Haim) and sisters (Danielle and Este Haim), becomes his unlikely chaperone on his auditions in 1973, and later he starts a waterbed company and then opens a pinball arcade while they end up encountering a series of various people, including a weird Japanese restaurateur (John Michael Higgins), a high-strung film producer (Bradley Cooper), an actor (Sean Penn), and a gay mayoral candidate (Benny Safdie), as their rollercoaster relationship continues.   Redhead: Year: 2022 Rating:  R View Licorice Pizza on the Internet Movie Database
