![]() ![]() It’s got something for everyone, a crowd-pleaser with the kind of plotline that might scare of a handful of audience members (too bad for them, really). ![]() culture, and a refreshing new spin on the sex comedy to boot. “Am I OK?” might be the only comedy at this year’s Sundance Film Festival about a pair of pals upended - sort of - by the admission that one of them is gay, but it’s also a generous examination of female friendship, a dead funny skewering of L.A. It’s the sort of experience anyone who has a best friend is likely familiar with, though the details of how and why Lucy (Johnson) and Jane (Mizuno) are arguing are very specific, the result is immediately recognizable, understandable, and heartbreaking. The expletives fly fast, the needling remarks about sensitive subjects come quick, and absolutely no one leaves the fight happy. Mid-way through Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s warm-hearted feature directorial debut “ Am I OK?,” stars Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno, playing long-time BFFs in the middle of a crisis, take part in the kind of knockdown, drag-out argument that only people who really love each other could have. ![]()
