Licorice Pizza

licorice pizza is filled with w.s anderson's great film making but the story leaves allot to be desired.
the film starts off promising but it never gets interesting.
cooper hoffman and alana haim do have chemistry but the characters they inhabit are empty and get more empty the longer the film goes on.
the resolution is dissapointing. no i do not want these people to have a happy ending, i want them to face actual consequence for the action of persueing a pedophillic relationship.

its like w.s anderson wrote this in order for us to see these heavily flawed characters but then make them seem likeable.
i don't get it, maybe i missed something.
i do feel anderson was trying to show us how immature alana still is despite being older, how she completly disregards responsibility but the ending ruins that perception i had.

This just wasn't for me.

I love the look of Licorice Pizza. I love that the cast look like real people in the world. It taught me that pinball was illegal. Other than that, I couldn't get into it. The age gap is definitely part of it. They meet during school picture day.
