SUNDANCE 2022: film #2
cannot remember the last time a movie felt so specifically tailored for me personally to the point that during the scene where dakota kissed a woman it felt like a microchip activated inside my brain. super lowkey and charmingly awkward and probably definitely not for everyone, but again, very very very for Me. also i just wanna put it somewhere so here, take it: fifty shades of gay. ok and i’ll stop now
dakota johnson doing comedy should be a federal holiday. it feels like people are finally coming around to the fact that she's one of the best we've got.
A movie about Dakota Johnson realizing she likes women? This should really be listed in the documentary competition instead
Very sweet. We’ve all taken that buzzfeed “am i gay” quiz haha. right guys? Right??? We’ve all done that?
A heartwarming and funny watch but ultimately forgettable - the story of Lucy coming to terms with her sexuality was much more compelling than the friendship arc happening with her and Jane, which felt lukewarm and entirely generic. The characters still felt fully realized though and I enjoyed the push and pull between Lucy’s meeker nature and Jane’s controlling one. Female friendship is so beautiful and I loved how it was depicted. Not much going on here besides that, the intensity never goes above a 5 and it was almost frustratingly safe. Dakota Johnson is hypnotizing, which probably made it feel a bit more intriguing than it actually was. But, I’m glad that Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne got to do this clearly very personal project together💛

In what was Dakota Johnson’s first great performance I witnessed at the festival, Am I OK? managed to keep it simple yet stay sweet throughout the runtime. Rather than spoil the trajectory of our main character, I will save some of the surprises for when you see the film, but know it is one that will be a…
Now that you’ve given me it twice, you may not take it away. I’m gonna need at least one Dakota Johnson indie romcom a year thanks.
