"There are two courtships unfolding in Licorice Pizza, and only one of them is happening on the screen. The other is between us and the movie. Guess who ends up punch-drunk and smitten?"

"Licorice Pizza is a film of immense, swirling complexity, and its elaborateness... comes off as a sort of defiance, of resistance to current modes of easy and consumable viewing."
- New Yorker

"Quite possibly the year's best film - easily its most delightful surprise."
