Am I OK? 2024

Loved this and didn't want to leave these characters. It's not often a film feels this authentic to how friendships are and how people really talk. Even down to having a friend with a strong disdain for someone else in your life. Not often you get that dynamic on screen without it building to come hokey resolution.
Dakota Johnson was so much herself in this and I was utterly charmed. That first hangout with Brittany was so charged and I was swooning over Lucy.
I was audibly reacting to the morning after their night together too! Arghh. Poor girl.

I saw Tig was going to be in it from the opening credits but totally forgot by the time she rolled around. The cameo was so her.
This film was very much about friendship and how complex it can be when navigating life's challenges. Solid journey well made.

Edit - just realised where I know Jane from - Devs! I did not like her performance in that at all (but likely the writing and character on the spectrum angle there?) really enjoyed her here though. Super fucking cute.
