Video Review – Licorice Pizza is good, bad, and problematic

December 25, 2021 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Licorice Pizza…

Paul Thomas Anderson is a prolific filmmaker with years of some of the most amazing cinematic work. Unfortunately, his latest outing, Licorice Pizza, couldn’t reach the heights of his other masterworks. While the film has some positives, critic EJ Moreno feels the weak script and troublesome romantic plot weighs it all down.
