If you loved Punch-Drunk Love, try Licorice Pizza
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Punch-Drunk Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Licorice Pizza is
San Fernando Valley, 1973, a waterbed store. Gary Valentine and Alana Kane navigate adolescence, first love, and precarious business ventures. Anderson frames their coming-of-age with a gentle humor.
