0/10
Scale: 0 = not woke, 10 = maximally woke
TL;DR Verdict
Am I OK? pushes an 8/10 woke agenda by making a 32-year-old woman's lesbian self-discovery and same-sex dating the sole driver of every plot turn. Skip it if you want a story not centered on belated queer identity validation.

Detailed Analysis
The film’s entire premise and emotional core revolve around Lucy (Dakota Johnson), a 32-year-old woman who drunkenly reveals to her best friend Jane that she thinks she might be a lesbian, then spends the runtime awkwardly exploring same-sex attraction, visiting a lesbian bar, using dating apps for women, having sex with coworker Brittany (Kiersey Clemons), and grappling with labels and identity.
This late-in-life coming-out arc, drawn directly from screenwriter Lauren Pomerantz’s real experiences, drives every major plot turn and character decision; without the queer self-discovery framing the story collapses. Directors Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne (a married lesbian couple) and the writer’s stated intent to normalize “there is no timeline” for coming out further embed the progressive emphasis on fluid or belated sexual identity as central rather than incidental. Casting and supporting elements remain secondary; the narrative prioritizes queer representation and emotional validation of non-heterosexual paths over traditional romance or friendship tropes alone.
Key Factors
- Core plot driven by protagonist’s lesbian coming-out and same-sex dating exploration
- Directors and writer explicitly tie the story to personal queer identity and late-blooming narratives
- Prominent scenes and subplots centered on lesbian bars, dating apps, and identity confusion as the primary conflict
- No established-character changes, but the foundational premise itself is identity-politics focused
Methodology: Each score synthesizes audience discourse, critic and aggregator reception, and press coverage — weighed against the work itself, not any single source.
