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.

The lines "I think it's because you're afraid of getting close to someone for fear of rejection", but also "that's so lezz", are uttered in this movie.

Never too late to change your life's direction.. or to ponder in anxiety if where you are is right or not. You may think you have everything under control, only to soon be reminded that you just don't. But not-so-believable super friendships is always a start.

The movie feels "soft", and a tad obvious (or is it?), but the ending was fresher than I expected.

It certainly has a gloomy feeling (that is most probably on purpose), and a relatable "awkwardness in life" from the lead.. so I'd say it is well done! It accomplishes what it sets out to do.. although not sure about the strength of the message or even the way it delivers it. It's enjoyable, in a way, but not memorable at all. I'm feeling a "Beast of the Night" (by CATBEAR) out of 10.

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.

I'm a massive Tig Notaro fan, so I have been waiting for this to come out for a long time. I was so excited for this.

The movie is OK. It's not bad by any means, but it's not great either. It just didn't have anything particularly memorable or noteworthy to mention.

The best part was the Tig cameo.

I think I was expecting a lot more from this, but it sort of felt like it just never peaked.

I know a lot of people didn't like Dakota, but I didn't see anything particularly wrong with her in the movie. I'm not sure anyone else could've made this any better than it was. It's just an OK movie.

Again, it's not bad, it's just not as good as I had hoped.
