Last week, I had the honor of discussing the new movie Am I OK? on NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour. Co-directed by Tig Notaro and her wife Stephanie Allynne, the movie’s main focus is on Lucy, a highly anxious and somewhat awkward woman, finally accepting that she’s a lesbian at age 32— coincidentally, the exact age at which I took my own bisexual identity from theoretical to confirmed. Just 89 minutes long, the movie goes down easy and, although its brevity prevents the film from truly earning some of its emotional beats, I found its depiction of Lucy’s relationship to the closet to be valuable and potentially illuminating.
This is really good.
