I'm Fine (Thanks for Asking)

The experience of so many. Grippingly tells the story of one mother's journey in trying to make it as an un-housed human in a harsh world. She wants to make ends meet and this movie depicts the hardships she faces.

This film convincingly tells the story of a widow who seriously struggle to make ends meet. She has a very bad day, and makes you empathise with her.

For many out there who have a comfortable life with decent income for their living expenses, this movie might come off as a shocking. In fact I think they may even be bored by the simplicity of this woman's life. But, what the main character goes through in this movie is the most realistic to life I have seen so far. It reminds me of Charles Dickens' novels where the main theme is: harsh and cruel life due to poverty. Watching this movie made me feel sorry for the woman and wished to help. Without a decent job that pays at least a minimum wage, life pretty much stuck and the truth is no one will help, not even the people you consider to be your friends because they are busy chasing after their own life and goals. Just like the main character, every person has to figure out about his or her own survival on oneself.

They also have masks on in the movie which so so weird to see in a pandemic. So many films have been created during this time without masks. Not sure what happened to my review. This is a realistic account of what an unhoused mother goes through trying to get off the streets and secure a home for her and her child. It's sad to watch but realistically accurate.

Watching this was like seeing a documentary. Folks this does not have the all too usual tired Hollywood script and false drama. It depicts the struggle of a single Mom and daughter in the African American community in LA to survive, get off the street and perhaps move ahead a bit.

More African American film makers like Kelli Kay should be noticed and funded for additional works.

Tune in with an open mind. This is a gem of an indie film.
