Am I OK?

I like when films dare to talk about things that are rarely discussed in the cinema. Someone trying to figure out their sexual inclination and having their first brushes with the consequences of their decisions is quite interesting to watch. All of this elevated Am I Ok? To a promising film. And I say elevated, in the past tense, because then the script turns towards a lighter path, stained by the comedy and drama that we can normally see on every sidewalk, on every corner. It was a good start, for a lukewarm ending.

The performances could have been better. Dakota Johnson has never been a great exponent of her type of work. I celebrate the edition, but I object to the poor choices regarding the soundtrack and costumes.

Final thoughts, good movie if you're looking for something quiet that will provoke some conversations to reflect on, but it's not anthropological philosophy either. Decent movie.

The directorial debut of Tig Notaro and her wife Stephanie Allynne, Am I ok?, is now streaming on MAX and if you're looking for a good movie to watch this Pride season (or any time really), I recommend it! My wife and I are big fans of Tig Notaro's work so watching this was a must for us. The film stars Dakota Johnson as Lucy, a young woman in her early 30s who hasn't quite figured out her sexual identity yet and thus embarks on a journey of self-exploration.

The film was written by Lauren Pomerantz and it is semi-based on her real-life experiences. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and feel that it deserves more hype than it is currently getting. Pomerantz did a superb job in writing this story. In her writing, she makes the viewer see exactly how hard it is to struggle with your own identity. Someone very close to me recently made known her sexuality and this movie gave me a better understand of what she may have been going through.

Every once in a while, you get to watch a movie that not only entertains but also educates. Am I ok? Is a feel-good film that warms your heart but more importantly, it creates a voice for those who may be just like Lucy and haven't discovered who they are quite yet. I hope you get a chance to see this movie and enjoy it as much as I did.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wasn't aware of Sonoys Mizuno's work before, but she's clearly a star. I'm looking forward to other projects that she's in. But the entire cast is great. It's a story about two friends who share everything except the things that matter. But This movie takes you on a journey that you can feel because it makes you reflect on your own life. I was not okay after the movie because I had so much to think about; but maybe it's pre/mid life crisis time. However, if you watch this movie, you will find yourself entertained, laughing and wanting to watch it again. Excellent film.

Lucy (Dakota Johnson) and Jane (Soyona Mizuno) are best friends but Lucy is hiding a huge secret from Jane... I will watch anything with Dakota Johnson in and she does not disappoint in this film. She plays best friend to Jane but they have a falling out and during their 'break' Lucy finds out something life changing. But Jane is going to London to work so they will be split up.

It's kind of a bestie film and a romcom and a coming of age all in one. But the dialogue is really on point and mature. Tig Notaro co-produced, co-directed and starred in the film and it certainly has her style of comedy stamped onto it. There are some real "Awwwww" moments but some real laugh out loud moments too as the two girls -with other people orbiting their lives- navigate their way through huge changes in their lives.

I really enjoyed it one rainy evening and give it a solid 6 for great entertainment and real life issues.

Not only there's beauty in the honesty in which the film explores themes of self discovery in the life of Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a 32-year-old woman who comes to a realization of an inner part of herself that was dormant, but also in the depiction of friendship. Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno have the on-screen chemistry to successfully show the ups and downs of two best friends.

Dakota Johnson's wittiness is hilarious. Since those interviews with Jimmy Fallon some years ago, we know humor is something that comes effortlessly to her, and in this movie she proves once again she's really funny. The dynamics of the characters and how they tread unknown territory in their lives give the story an interesting take on social matters that isn't shown on-screen every day. This decision defies the complacency often found in comedies, making "Am I OK?" worth watching.
