If Licorice Pizza hit the spot, these will too

Paul Thomas Anderson directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Common ground in both: high school and growing up

Common ground: growing up

Contemplative and witty in the same breath
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are built on the same subject: teenage love
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Both land play and romance at once

The same mix in both: tenderness, then wistfulness

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Witty comedy, and it commits to that

Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases

The same preoccupation in both: high school

Both keep coming back to the same thing: love
In the mood for more contemplative?
