ConsequenceMary SirokyJan 25, 2022
What this movie offers is a refreshing, grounded take on a part of life that can be frightening and difficult, giving it the attention and care it deserves without veering into unnecessary sentimentality or aiming to be a tearjerker. Read full review

The PlaylistMarya E. GatesJan 25, 2022
Although AM I OK? follows a well-worn formula, it finds transcendence in Johnson and Mizuno’s authentic, intertwined performances and Pomerantz’s deeply personal, heartwarming screenplay. Read full review

We Got This CoveredMartin CarrFeb 4, 2022

ABC NewsPeter TraversJun 7, 2024
Dakota Johnson is aces as a late bloomer coming out in her 30s. The touchingly personal script by Lauren Pomerantz is funny as hell, but it’s her delicacy of feeling that sneaks up and floors you. Something special is going on here. Treasure it. Read full review

ColliderRoss BonaimeApr 12, 2022
Pomerantz’s screenplay is deceptively complex, yet it’s pulled off effortlessly. Pomerantz is presenting ideas of self-discovery, lifelong friendships, confusion and uncertainty in who a person is, and handling all this in a remarkably entertaining and endearing story. Read full review

IndieWireKate ErblandJan 25, 2022
Where this all takes Lucy and Jane might feel a bit predictable, but that doesn’t deter from the warmth and wit that comes from the story that gets them there, a sex comedy with major heart, a friendship drama with plenty of spice, and a lovely new calling card for both Notaro and Allynne.

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanJan 25, 2022
If Am I OK?‘s tone occasionally tilts too far toward comedy (including in an oddly staged climactic confrontation) its laughs land far more often than not, and bring us closer to the characters by inviting us to laugh with them. Read full review

A lovingly crafted ode to female friendship and the idea that it's never too late to embrace your true self. Read full review

The New York TimesAlissa WilkinsonJun 6, 2024
The movie feels very lived-in, the banter fresh and funny, even if sometimes it feels like it’s standing in place a bit too long Read full review

The Associated PressJocelyn NoveckJun 5, 2024
The story here is simple and heartfelt. It’s a coming-out tale, but with the twist that the person coming out is 32, a decade (or even two) later than in most stories we see. Read full review

Film ThreatRob RectorJan 27, 2022
Like Lucy, herself, Am I OK? does not really discover itself until much later, but once it does, it confidently strides to its conclusion. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonJan 26, 2022
Allynne and Notaro’s film is suffused with sweetness, but the slim, conventional story keeps the directors and their capable cast from really exploring the bonds that connect people, whether as friends or lovers. It’s an OK debut that, like Lucy herself, struggles a bit to find its footing. Read full review

The GuardianAdrian HortonJan 25, 2022
Am I OK? is strongest when embedded in the two friends’ well-worn, effusive bond, in sickness or in health – when the fight comes the barbs are believably lacerating, the kind only best friends can wield. Read full review

TheWrapJan 25, 2022
A warmhearted crowdpleaser undercut by moments of hesitation, Am I OK? has all the makings of an unqualified delight. Read full review

The Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsJan 26, 2022
A romantic comedy that functions best as a fable of friendship and self-reflection, Am I OK? is the kind of lightweight, amiable movie that just barely earns the emotional beats at the heart of its story. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonJun 7, 2024
What it does have is wonderfully natural dialogue that allows two talented actresses to spin a convincing friendship out of a gossamer narrative, and an engaging relationship out of pure charm. Is it enough? Probably not. They say you can’t have everything, which is especially true here. Read full review
