Our 4/20 Weekend keeps on groovin with Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2021 coming-of-age dramedy Licorice Pizza!

The story follows Gary Valentine and Alana Kane, two young people growing up, running around, and going through the treacherous navigation of first love in the San Fernando Valley in 1973.

Licorice Pizza was hailed as one of the best films of 2021. It earned a number of nominations and awards, including three Academy Award nominations (Best Picture, Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson, and Best Original Screenplay). Critics praised its direction, screenplay, and the performances of its leads, Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman. The film’s blend of humor, charm, awesome soundtrack, and tender moments stood out and was exactly what film fans wanted post-Pandemic lockdown.
