Film Review - Am I OK?
June 04, 2024
Comedian Tig Notaro and actress Stephanie Allynne make their feature-length directorial debut with “Am I OK?” It’s the story of a woman’s journey of identity and emotion, touching on the experience of self-acceptance and the long road of realization involved in such an odyssey. The screenplay is credited to Lauren Pomerantz, who’s out to make a comedy with the tale, but also explore some delicate feelings, setting up a tonal tightrope walk for the helmers. Notaro and Allynne manage to make a very funny movie, but “Am I OK?” is also tender when it needs to be, and surprisingly intimate at times. It’s a very small production examining human issues, with Pomerantz never going to explosive extremes to summon drama, and for those who enjoy milder views of character concerns, the picture hits the spot with lots of charm and realism.
