Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza, about the pains of first love; Ridley Scott's House of Gucci, focusing on the Godfather of the fashion world; and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tick, Tick…Boom!, a musical about an aspiring composer in New York City who is worried he made the wrong career choice, whilst also navigating the pressures of love and friendship.
