Alana Haim and Her Family star in the movie.
According to The Reporter, Alana's performance in Tom Anderson's Licorice Pizza, set in 1973 in California's San Fernando Valley, is one of the most memorable screen debuts in recent memory.
Set in the early 1970s, ‘Licorice Pizza’ is a beautiful journey into the thrills of teenage life and how even fleeting experiences leave a lasting effect on one’s life. Interestingly, the movie bases the character of teenager Gary Valentine on legendary film and TV producer Gary Goetzman. In the film, Gary Valentine takes a liking to photographer’s assistant Alana Kane after meeting her at his high school’s picture day. Although there is a significant age difference between the two, Gary seems entirely smitten by his new acquaintance and even tries to flirt awkwardly.
Surprisingly, Gary’s clumsy advances lead to the development of a beautiful bond, and he and Alana become fast friends. With both of them living in the San Fernando Valley, Gary — a young actor himself — tries to jumpstart Alana’s acting career. However, the plan fails, forcing the two to start a waterbed company through which they are able to experience the Hollywood lifestyle.
Gary and Alana’s business even puts them face to face with some of the industry’s biggest stars and leads them on several risky escapades that end up strengthening their bond. Moreover, their journey together is documented amid a changing political scenario that surely leaves an effect on their young minds.
