Saccharine escapism with a great big heart, this is a warm hug of a movie that feels like a cupcake for the soul.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 1, 2024

A charming and often very funny comedy about the changes to both friendship and self with another nice turn from Dakota Johnson

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 21, 2024

While the film generally doesn’t dig too far beyond the surface of these themes, you can feel complex thoughts and feelings radiating off Dakota Johnson, who gives a vulnerable and moving performance.

| Oct 8, 2024

The film is an uplifting, heartfelt watch with noteworthy performances, well-established characters, and relatable subject matter.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 8, 2024

The script, from debut screenwriter Lauren Pomerantz, is a delight, and it’s an accessible story that doesn’t require all that much concentration to enjoy.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 24, 2024

It's very endearing.

| Jul 13, 2024

Very funny, sweet and sharp.

Inspired by Pomerantz herself coming out in her 30s, Am I OK? merges sweet coming-of-age tenderness with sharp romcom one-liners, but at its core is a really solid film about friendship.

| Jul 7, 2024

Radiating warmth and humor, the film’s main strength lies in two beautifully observed complementary performances, hitting the mark in its attempt to generate sympathy for the characters’ struggles.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 29, 2024

To say that it is slight would be an understatement; it is too inconsequential to warrant even that. It’s not that it’s a bad movie; it’s that it is only a movie in the loosest sense.

Directors Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s feature ends up being a little unfocused but enjoyable enough when realizing this is far more a feature about female friendship than in its exploration of an adult woman’s coming out story.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 21, 2024

The sharp cast generates some big laughs, while the screenplay modulates its silliness with an assured perspective and emotional depth.

| Jun 14, 2024

Directors Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne seem more interested in the exploration, in the moments in between the big decisions than they do in the things we have to figure out. That’s what makes Am I OK? such a powerful movie.

| Jun 11, 2024

Dakota Johnson is made for roles with nuance and depth, bringing her incredible range as an actress to the forefront in a glowing performance.

| Jun 11, 2024

Throughout it all, Sonoya Mizuno and especially Dakota Johnson root this saga of self-discovery in riveting realism, turning in a pair of poignant performances that amplify the movie’s impact around them and linger long after the credits roll.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 10, 2024

The new dramedy directed by comedian Tig Notaro and her wife, actress Stephanie Allyne is a well-intentioned but grating look at coming out in your thirties.

| Jun 10, 2024

Am I OK? is neither groundbreaking nor violently offputting. It just exists, and sometimes that's enough to be enjoyable. Sometimes, it is enough for this premise to strike a nerve.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 9, 2024

Max's I Am OK? has three endearing performances but lacks the necessary big laughs the script strives for.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 9, 2024

There’s little room for frustration here; you won’t find outlandish sequences in which Lucy jumps into a lake, or goes on a drug-fuelled bender, or shoots a gun in the air. What is it that Americans do? Who knows?

| Jun 9, 2024

Am I Ok? delves into a friendship threatened by changes and distance, but its drama comes to almost nothing and is resolved in the worst possible way. [Full review in Spanish]
