Featured reviews
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
