This is a refreshingly realistic story about resilience, familial love and adversity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 10, 2023

While this is an honourable attempt to capture the hardships of the pandemic, it is sorely lacking in drive and energy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 9, 2023

A little rough around the edges certainly, but spirited and authentic, this is a low-budget African American indie that has a kinship with the Dardenne brothers’ brand of breadline urgency.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 5, 2023

Kali produces an effortlessly sympathetic central turn and the movie, shot along the empty streets of 2020 and resolutely “about” the pandemic, perfectly captures the odd sci-fi strangeness of that near history.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2023

I’m Fine (Thanks for Asking) is a reminder of how American independent film-makers can portray life on the margins with energy and ingenuity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2023

The America of this film is a cruel society that neglects or devours its poor or unlucky people -- unless they are as strong as Danny.

The individual interactions work well, yet they all add up to a film that isn’t doing very much that even the most casual of moviegoer won’t have seen before.

I’m Fine (Thanks For Asking) is a much-needed, poignant and heartbreaking meditation on poverty in modern day America.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 27, 2023

At times, in this low-budget ode to aimless life in sunny California, the narrative and lead character Danny (Kelley Kali) wander. Midway into this 90-minute slacker film, you learn that's the point.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 6, 2021

A heartwrenching reminder of how the pandemic has affected multiple people, bolstered by a winning performance from Kelly Kali.

| Original Score: 9 | Jun 24, 2021

A small story with large stakes for its main character, I'm Fine (Thanks for Asking) reminds us there's a lot going on in someone's life, even when they insist all's well. It's an appeal for empathy with a lot of heart.

| Apr 21, 2021

I'm Fine (Thanks for Asking) is a vibrant and inspiring story to come out of the COVID cataclysm both in its narrative and also with its production.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 11, 2021

At first glance, this is your typical Life is Beautiful knockoff: homeless mom Dani tells her adorable daughter they are camping for fun while working to get them off the streets. Yet...it's executed so humanely and honestly that it feels original.

| Apr 9, 2021

As the film progresses, we see the frustrations and the continued resourcefulness in which Danny handles her situation. Poignant and realistic are words that best describe the film.

Kelley Kali's warmth and clinging optimism is what keeps I'm Fine engaging even when various storylines zigzag in the most obvious of directions.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 1, 2021

It has the energy and verve of a quirky indie but is weighted with real-world problems that are relatable and speak to a greater socio-economic crisis.

| Mar 25, 2021

The screenplay and direction allow for the raw emotions to feel authentic, and its message of what is okay to give up in the face of unimaginable grief and hardship resonates strongly.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 24, 2021
