I'm Totally Fine

"What we once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love becomes a part of us."

'I'm Totally Fine' is a fascinating exploration of grief, healing and friendship. The film is also subtly hilarious - I was expecting a serious sci-fi drama, but there were times when I actually found myself laughing out loud!

It was beautifully written, beautifully shot & beautifully acted from start to finish. The chemistry between Jillian Bell and Natalie Morales is palpable on screen. Talk about a dream team - I couldn't keep my eyes off them. I loved this movie and will be recommending it to anyone who will listen!

''how does it feel to feel to be feeling'', is the word of this day and these kind of emotions that strikes you when dealing with grief and loss and sorrow, mourning over a person that has just deceased, in this case, just before the ultimate weekend party at a mansion out there in the mesa's out sw, to celebrate in a cataclysmic way the 2 year anniversary of joint companyship...

its a strange film that you might find troublesome to relate to, but if youve lost a businesspartner, good friend or loved ones this will be like a magic salute to your own strive, paced very well as a duett, the living and the ghost.

Remember this is made on a small budget, and couldve been a box office hit if backed up by a 50 mill$, but the cast of 5( visual), the broad and wise touch of elegance from the screenplaywrighter and director, will somehow shake your foundations anyhow.

Im a grumpy old man that havent experienced much loss yet,( when my parents passed i had allready come to terms with the loss), but i see the value of a little bit of sci-fi comedy in the drama, well done jillian, nathalie, alisha and brandon, excellent piece of work...

I will be short in this review.

This is not comedy, and I've expected a better story than this. Not only the acting, but every aspect of the movie is below expectations. The story could be developed better and I find the alien character, portrayed by Natalie Morales. Exceptional out of the movie plot. Her character should be the one that pulls us into the story and Jillian was supposed to round it up and make the connection from sci-fi to comedy, but nothing. As a lover of stand-up comedy, disappointed. There is no need to look into the holes in the plot, as the plot is written bad... Someone was supposed to put more effort to pull us into the movie and story with the character of Jennifer but failed really badly.

I must say I love the cast and that is the reason why can't believe this is so purely made.

Cheers!

Delivered in an unusual way, the reconnection of a grieving woman to her late best friend was at the same time emotional and endearingly amusing. Vanessa and Jennifer seemed like an unusual friendship - one cautious and uptight and one wild and carefree. Touching on real themes like fear, regret, resentment and acceptance, it covers all these with depth and humour. Natalie Morales nailed Jennifer's awkward character - from her sentence construction, monotone alien delivery and the hilarious antics she got up to. I could have watched it for longer just to enjoy her performance. Loved it. Worth a watch.

This movie is more darkly comic than stand up comic. Go into it expecting that and you will enjoy it much more.

It is a slightly new take on the theme of dealing with the loss of a loved one. Also, do not see it as a serious sci-fi and try to explain it from a realistic scientific perspective...it almost seems a side plot that one of the characters is an alien...

While there are probably a thousand life time movies that try to do this theme, None will measure up to this.

The acting of both female roles is superb. The grieving friend is such a complex believable realistic character that at times, I wanted to reach in and hug her and at other times I wanted to jump on the couch playing air guitar with her. The alien monotone robotic delivery was fabulous and perfectly funny in all the right places, adding a nice dimension on an old theme.

Bottom line.... I am usually not a fan of this type of movie but found myself enjoyably entertained and thoroughly appreciating the final message of the movie. I definitely recommend.
