- 100ConsequenceMary SirokyConsequenceMary SirokyWhat this movie offers is a refreshing, grounded take on a part of life that can be frightening and difficult, giving it the attention and care it deserves without veering into unnecessary sentimentality or aiming to be a tearjerker.
- 91The PlaylistMarya E. GatesThe PlaylistMarya E. GatesAlthough AM I OK? follows a well-worn formula, it finds transcendence in Johnson and Mizuno’s authentic, intertwined performances and Pomerantz’s deeply personal, heartwarming screenplay.
- 83IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandWhere this all takes Lucy and Jane might feel a bit predictable, but that doesn’t deter from the warmth and wit that comes from the story that gets them there, a sex comedy with major heart, a friendship drama with plenty of spice, and a lovely new calling card for both Notaro and Allynne.
- 80SlashfilmBen PearsonSlashfilmBen PearsonA lovingly crafted ode to female friendship and the idea that it's never too late to embrace your true self.
- 60The GuardianAdrian HortonThe GuardianAdrian HortonAm I OK? is strongest when embedded in the two friends’ well-worn, effusive bond, in sickness or in health – when the fight comes the barbs are believably lacerating, the kind only best friends can wield.
- 60TheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanTheWrapElizabeth WeitzmanA warmhearted crowdpleaser undercut by moments of hesitation, Am I OK? has all the makings of an unqualified delight.
- 60Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonAllynne and Notaro’s film is suffused with sweetness, but the slim, conventional story keeps the directors and their capable cast from really exploring the bonds that connect people, whether as friends or lovers. It’s an OK debut that, like Lucy herself, struggles a bit to find its footing.
- 60Film ThreatRob RectorFilm ThreatRob RectorLike Lucy, herself, Am I OK? does not really discover itself until much later, but once it does, it confidently strides to its conclusion.
- 58The Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsThe Film StageJake Kring-SchreifelsA romantic comedy that functions best as a fable of friendship and self-reflection, Am I OK? is the kind of lightweight, amiable movie that just barely earns the emotional beats at the heart of its story.
