Director: Tig Notaro, Stephanie Allynne
Lucy and Jane have spent decades finishing each other's sentences, so when one small announcement threatens to pull them apart, "Am I OK?" turns that friendship into the whole story.
What is Am I Ok about?
Best friends since childhood, Lucy and Jane assume there's nothing left to learn about each other. Then Jane tells Lucy she's moving to London, and the news knocks something loose: Lucy admits a truth about herself that she's kept quiet for most of her adult life. Jane wants to help, and she throws herself into it with the same intensity she brings to everything, but her version of support doesn't always match what Lucy actually needs, and the mismatch starts to strain a bond neither of them thought could bend. Dakota Johnson plays Lucy with a mix of hesitation and quiet relief as she starts figuring out who she is on her own terms, while Sonoya Mizuno gives Jane a restless, well-meaning energy that occasionally does more harm than good. Directors Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne, working from a script that treats both women with equal sympathy, let the comedy come from real awkwardness rather than easy punchlines, and the drama come from love that doesn't always know how to show up correctly.
Cast & crew
Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno carry the film as a pair whose chemistry reads as lived-in rather than rehearsed, trading warmth and frustration in equal measure. Kiersey Clemons and Molly Gordon bring easy charm to Lucy's growing circle, Jermaine Fowler adds a grounded presence as someone navigating the fallout alongside her, and Sean Hayes contributes sharp comic timing in a supporting turn. Co-director Tig Notaro also appears on screen, lending the film a dry, familiar wit.
Context & significance
"Am I OK?" sits comfortably alongside a run of recent comedies that use a personal disclosure not as a twist but as the engine for a broader story about identity and friendship in your thirties. Its Los Angeles setting, casual visual style, and focus on two women's daily routines keep the stakes intimate rather than dramatic, closer to a character study than a plot-driven feature. The film's co-directors bring a background in stand-up and sketch comedy that shows in the naturalistic, overlapping dialogue between its leads.
