The story of Alana Kane and Gary Valentine growing up, running around and going through the treacherous navigation of first love in the San Fernando Valley, 1973. Written and Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood) the film tracks the treacherous navigation of first love. With Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper.

“Watch the best film of 2021 wherever and whenever you can, and be thankful there is still plenty of beauty in this world to go ’round.” (Globe and Mail)

“Looser and funnier than his recent efforts, sharper and more formally assured than his earliest films, this is Paul Thomas Anderson operating at full capacity. A master at work.” (Empire Magazine)

“Gary is played by Cooper Hoffman, the teenage son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman — and he’s captivating, full of chutzpah and with such a good, imperfect, real face.” (London Evening Standard)

“This is heady stuff, an evocation of the San Fernando valley in the early 70s, as personally nostalgic as George Lucas’s American Graffiti, albeit with an insanely adventurous edge.” (Observer UK)

“It’s the most fun I had at the movies all year.” (Toronto Star)
