Licorice Pizza
I knew this was a perfect movie when I saw it in theaters but oh my god this is a perfect movie.
I referenced the “I’m Jewish” line in my first review but it’s such a perfect line to me I gotta talk about it too. I don’t think there is a character out there better to watch than Alana. Her awkwardness, her struggles with commitment and ambition, and how wonderful she is through all of it. I love her.
I obviously love Gary Valentine too. What a guy what a guy. “I met the girl I’m gonna marry one day.” Everyone talks about that line because it should be talked about. Haven’t we all had that thought all the time?
