Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Licorice Pizza’ Was Screened For A Select Few Critics

Where was my invite?

Clayton Davis over at Variety has some very positive news about Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza.” It was actually screened for a very few select critics last week:

“Paul Thomas Anderson wrote “Licorice Pizza,” along with directing and producing the film with Sara Murphy. The project, distributed by United Artists Releasing, was backed by MGM, in association with Bron Creative and Anderson’s Ghoulardi Film Company, and screened for select critics and journalists last week. Word so far is positive. If PTA were to win an Oscar, a writing statue would feel like the most likely based on his awards resume.”
