Review of Liquorice Pizza

An odd and rather unsatisfying film...I'm sure when they pitched it the word "quirky" was used, but it's as much shapeless as quirky. At first I liked the fact that is was not only set in the early 1970s but seemed to have been made then too - the colours, the shots, the camera resolution... And some of it is nicely observed, with good close-ups and dynamics between the characters. But the narrative becomes a set of increasingly implausible vignettes and incidents that don't seem to relate to each other.

Quite fed up by the end, it seemed overlong and not so interesting.
