Y’know what, it wasn’t that bad. As a huge fan of the games I had zero expectations going into this, I didn’t like any of the promotional material, I didn’t really like the casting and the production hell this film went through didn’t give me any hope that this was going to be a decent …

Licorice Pizza is the comedy film of the year, a genuinely non-stop fun ride that completely immerses you in the world of 70s LA. PTA is so loose with structure here that it genuinely feels like a glimpse into the lives of these characters, like you’re just hanging out with them, getting into antics and building …
