Am I OK?

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.

I know the description for this movie is about the character's journey with coming out but I got to say the tru winner here is the depiction of female friendship, specially between and introvert and an extrovert. I found it so funny and light and cute and special. And who knew Dakota can actually act when given good material and I'm glad we finally see her comedy chops. A darling movie to watch when you miss your friends and feel like a pick me up. Oh also the coming out is so real and I'm glad you can see a less vía actually wrote it. Anyway I loved the movie and would recommend it to people that like this type of light fun movies.

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.

Say what you will about Dakota Johnson, but for me, 2024 so far has been reminding me not to judge art (movies, in this case) by their covers/title cards. There's often more to something than meets the eye. I never paid much attention to Ms. Dakota Johnson as an actress - she got her big mainstream break in the Fifty Shades franchise, not known for being groundbreaking art - and yet, here she is surprising me this year, at every turn! She certainly has a unique charm to her, and I was drawn to this movie because I appreciate her deadpan sense of humor.

I wasn't expecting this one to be as awkward and funny as it was, but I really think it's a solid movie. Of course it suffers from typical Hollywood tropes...my favorite being that although Lucy (Johnson) works as a receptionist in a spa, we never see her checking in any clients. (Not even one!) Her best friend's job is equally unclear, but hey, she has a neat office at least.

Anyway, as a late-joining member of the 'Alphabet' community myself, I appreciated the representation of letter Q subgroup: Questioning/Queer.

Keep on keeping on, Dakota Johnson!

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.
