Two newcomers become glorious movie stars in this comedy from Paul Thomas Anderson, set in 1970s Los Angeles. Cooper Hoffman (son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a fast-talking high-school kid with the nerve to start hitting on a 25-year-old woman - played by Alana Haim (of the pop band Haim), who has Barbra Streisand's charisma and beauty. Their strange semi-platonic love affair plays out against this kid's floundering dual careers as a child actor and waterbed salesman. Gorgeously made, with wonderful cameos from Bradley Cooper and Sean Penn.
Released in the UK on 1 January
