Am I OK?

I absolutely loved it, I also loved Happiest Season which makes me wonder whether I have a thing for lesbian romance coms.

This one was really good! I had never heard of it until I saw it on Max, but I am glad I checked it out. It is nothing revolutionary, but it is a solid lower budget movie with heart.

Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend

Loved this and didn't want to leave these characters. It's not often a film feels this authentic to how friendships are and how people really talk. Even down to having a friend with a strong disdain for someone else in your life. Not often you get that dynamic on screen without it building to come hokey resolution.
Dakota Johnson was so much herself in this and I was utterly charmed. That first hangout with Brittany was so charged and I was swooning over Lucy.
I was audibly reacting to the morning after their night together too! Arghh. Poor girl.

I saw Tig was going to be in it from the opening credits but totally forgot by the time she rolled around. The cameo was so her.
This film was very much about friendship and how complex it can be when navigating life's challenges. Solid journey well made.

Edit - just realised where I know Jane from - Devs! I did not like her performance in that at all (but likely the writing and character on the spectrum angle there?) really enjoyed her here though. Super fucking cute.

I love when a movie sneaks up on me, like this one did. On the surface the movie is fairly simple and not unlike movies that we've seen before. When a detail about one of the main characters is revealed, it sure felt like the movie was going to go down a familiar path. It didn't. The movie is first and foremost about friendship, and this is driven home repeatedly toward the end of the movie. This doesn't work without the strong and nuanced performances of the two leads. I enjoyed the nuances but I can see how others might not.

Am I Ok? snuck up on me. I watched it as a time pass, but it ended up being pretty good! It reminded me a bit of Cooper Raiff's movies, maybe because Dakota Johnson is also in Cha Cha Real Smooth. It's a reflective character-driven drama, driven by dialogue and not very flashy. While it deals with romance, it's really an examination of a friendship under fire which I found very personal and compelling. Johnson and Mizuno are great, and they really carry the movie as their frustrations become palpable. I think the second half of the movie is stronger once the conflicts and tensions rise to the surface compared to the first half which feels a bit more like a lighter comedy. There is still well-timed humor, but the drama is what really drives the movie. Worth checking out if you like these types of movies!

Is it wrong that I want the two friends to end up together? I know the movie wasn't really going for that, but Jane just knows Lucy so well, and is clearly fluid with her sexuality. Even says "I'd make the best lesbian" at one point. These things almost made me feel like that's the direction they were planning things, and then Lucy joining Jane in London? It just makes sense to me.

Idk, maybe I'm crazy haha

I've never seen Sonoya Mizuno before but her performance drew me in every time she was on screen.

Like me at University: it decides the subject requires too much work so chooses instead to babble on about the same banalities everyone else has already covered.

The movie they started at the beginning about half a best friend duo questioning her sexuality would've been a much better (and funnier) film than this umpteenth iteration of a staid buddy pic.

super mild and not gay enough but it gets a pass due to the coming out angle. i guess.

still don’t get what the lead was going for with that blah ass performance (yes the character was going through it but did the acting also have to be so one note and stale?) but everyone else was charming and fun and did their best to elevate a very cliche script.

_“boobs in mouth”_ was hilarious (pity that scene was them wrapping things up because it felt like the story had really just begun and i was finally into it) and in a better show the move to london would help the bestie realize her own lesbian leanings but oh well. can’t have everything 😂
