Nightmare Alley (R) An ambitious, down-and-out carnival worker (Bradley Cooper) develops a shady stage act employing the power of clairvoyance. It becomes a golden ticket to success and affords him the ability to grift the wealthy elite of 1940s New York society. But enlisting the aid of a mysterious psychologist (Cate Blanchette) may be a dangerous move.
Licorice Pizza (R) Brash 15-year-old Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) enters a friendship with world-weary 25-year-old Alana Kane (Alana Haim) – a vulnerable union, which exposes differences in their experience and temperament. He’s a hustling small-time actor with Hollywood connections, while she’s still living at home, seeking direction in an unfocused life.
