Good film about two good friends, one of whom is moving abroad because of work. Although the main character seems a bit whiny at the beginning, he turns out well. All good scenes, a pleasant pace and certainly a nice, sympathetic cast.

Two best friends are at a crossroads in their lives. Lucy [Dakota Johnson] discovers she is a lesbian at the age of 32 and Jane [Sonoya Mizuno] returns to her hometown of London with her boyfriend Danny [Jermaine Fowler] to start her dream job. Jane wants to help Lucy come to terms with her sexual identity, but also faces dilemmas herself. A warm, honest portrait of friendship with a disarming Johnson. Kiersey Clemons is very alluring as the woman Lucy has feelings for. The title refers to the ease with which Lucy and Jane tell each other that things are going OK, while they know that they are not.

At the center are Jane (Sonoya Mizuno) and Lucy (Dakota Johnson), who have been best friends for years and have shared good times and bad times with each other over the years. The film focuses on their friendship at a time when some changes are taking place. Jane announces that she will continue her career in London. Lucy discovers that she has feelings that she was not aware of before. Two concrete causes that make their close friendship somewhat unstable.
The plot may seem like a reason for an intense coming-out drama, in which especially in the case of Lucy, great obstacles have to be overcome. However, Am I Ok? is not an intense coming-out drama. There are no great obstacles to overcome. The protagonists, who are in their early 30s, are already too old for that. Moreover, everyone around them reacts very understandingly. It is mainly Jane and Lucy themselves who are having a hard time and who still have some issues that they have to sort out. In sorting these out, the film does not use a gloomy or very serious tone. It is more light-hearted feel-good than intense tragedy.
Lucy and Jane are not portrayed as the exceptions. In the film, other adult characters also appear to have their lives not completely in balance. As is the case in real life outside the film. It is very recognizable. Not everything runs smoothly for any character. At the end, Lucy and Jane have a somewhat forced happy ending that is not a definitive happy ending but a pleasant stopover on the road to their further lives. Am I Ok? is a positively oriented tragicomedy. Nice.
