\n We start \u2014 why not? \u2014 with a veggie burger.Lucy (Dakota Johnson) and Jane (Sonoya Mizuno), besties in their 30s, have been so close for so long that when they meet at the diner, Jane can just recite Lucy\u2019s regular order: Veggie burger and sweet potato fries.And so when, late into \u201cAm I Ok?\u2019, Lucy goes rogue and orders a tomato and spinach omelet, there\u2019s a look of subtle hurt that flits across Jane\u2019s face. It seems silly \u2014 it was just a veggie burger \u2014 but to Jane it signifies something familiar and comforting that\u2019s now gone.There are similarly sweet, subtle touches peppered through this debut directorial effort by Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne \u2014 touches that land much better than the occasional attempts at broad humor that feel forced, or at least like a different movie (for example, the dialogue given to Jane\u2019s boss, played by Sean Hayes).<\/p>\n
And of course, there\u2019s Johnson herself, the obvious focus of the lingering camera throughout, and for good reason: her always-winning authenticity, shining through in film after film even at times when the material around her feels thin.The story here is simple and heartfelt. It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
This particular story belongs to the film\u2019s writer, Lauren Pomerantz, who came out when she was 34. Her closeness to the proceedings is evident in a few startlingly poignant moments \u2014 for example, the pain that Lucy feels when a straight woman toys with her emotions (and more). It\u2019s one of the most moving passages in the film.<\/p>\n
After an opening montage that establishes the female friendship at the core of the movie, we begin at the aforementioned diner, with Jane telling Lucy (over the aforementioned veggie burger) that she really needs to get together with a certain cute male friend who obviously likes her: \u201cJust do it,\u201d she says. Lucy can\u2019t explain why she doesn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jane, the more professionally advanced of the two, has a major life change coming. Her boss offers her the chance to leave Los Angeles and set up a London office. Plus, her very nice boyfriend (Jermaine Fowler, not given enough to work with for too much of the film) is coming along. But for Lucy, this news is devastating \u2013 and you can tell by the unconvincing way she keeps saying \u201cAwesome!\u201d when Jane tells her one evening over drinks.After lots of tequila, the two friends end up crying together, as close friends do (at least in the movies) in the bathroom while peeing, and then later, on a sleepover. There, Lucy finally tells Jane that she likes girls.Jane is nothing if not supportive. In fact, ever ambitious, she tells Lucy she\u2019ll be \u201cthe star of the lesbian community.\u201d And she resolves to help her find a woman, starting with an excursion to a gay bar. However, it\u2019s Jane who winds up kissing a woman on the dance floor. Lucy flees, embarrassed.But there\u2019s this sensuous masseuse (Kiersey Clemons) at the spa where Lucy\u2019s a receptionist. Brittany is flirting like crazy with Lucy, who finally gets up the courage to respond. She brings Lucy out of her shell, but with ultimately disheartening results. And Lucy\u2019s on the outs now with Jane, normally the first person she\u2019d call with any heartache.<\/p>\n
This movie may be about a pair of friends, but witnessing the supremely watchable Johnson navigate uncertainty and sadness, it\u2019s Lucy\u2019s life you\u2019ll find yourself caring about most. A last-minute obstacle to Jane\u2019s well-laid plans for her trip to London rings a bit false \u2014 or maybe it just seems wedged in as if to say, well, both women have issues.In any case, It\u2019s been a good month for female buddy comedies. While Pamela Adlon\u2019s comedy \u201cBabes,\u201d went all in for the raunch inherent in childbirth, \u201cAm I OK?\u201d goes for a sweeter, soulful vibe. It feels good that we end up where we began \u2014 back at that table in the diner, hashing stuff out. The ultimate message here may be simple, but it\u2019s comforting: friendships may change but can still adapt, withstand and survive.Even when a veggie burger yields to an omelet.\u201cAm I OK?\u2019, a Warner Bros release, has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association \u201cfor language, sexual references and some drug use.\u201d Running time: 86 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.<\/p>\n
