did some oscars catchup today and finally got around to watching coda, licorice pizza, and drive my car.
went in figuring I’d love licorice pizza because pta + coming of age is wheelhouse, but it was my least favorite of these three. was thinking of spracs/this thread the whole time and was like “this is def no phantom thread”. kinda a mess tbh, felt like even by pta standards he was trying to jam too much in to frankly care about too many of the subplots. probably just too high of expectations going in.
drive my car was by far my fave of these three, pretty long at right about 3hrs and def wasn’t in a hurry - pacing pretty slow but was even.
