Sometimes you need to be direct with your metaphors in storytelling, and the idea of drowning in a sea of problems is a pretty direct metaphor. And there’s a trippy sequence in the middle of the film that perfectly sums up everything Danny is going through, and also happens to be visually arresting too: Danny trips in a puddle, but suddenly falls into a massive ocean, with what little earthly possessions she has floating around her. Long, swooping shots also occur during the opening of the film, making it feel like the world is out to swallow Danny and Wes. Vibrant murals featuring the likes of Frieda Kahlo and Danny Trejo surround Danny as she skates from destination to destination. The camerawork is mostly handheld, with cinematographer Becky Baihui Chen capturing the beauty of California.

In addition to co-writing and taking the lead in I’m Fine (Thanks For Asking), Kali also steps into the director’s chair with Molina. Everything that can go wrong for Danny often does, and I’m glad Kali doesn’t shy away from that in her performance. Later, a sequence finds her fighting off a would-be thief who snuck into her tent I was literally on the edge of my seat. Still, fairly soon, her walls start to break down until she finally confesses to her friend Brooklynn ( BK Marie) after partaking in some weed. I’ve seen plenty of films chronicling the struggle of a single mother, but Kali and her co-writers easily underline how stressful this load becomes during COVID.Īnd living up to the film’s title, Danny constantly insists to her friends and neighbors that she’s fine following her husband Sam’s death. Danny is also hustling to scrape together the cash for her new apartment by doing odd jobs, including braiding her friend’s hair and making food runs for a delivery app. She runs the gamut of emotions, from joy upon seeing her daughter peacefully sleeping to despair upon realizing she may have lost a precious family heirloom.

The driving force behind this movie is Kali’s performance as Danny.

These are all things that have happened to real people and make this movie feel all the more authentic.

Characters wear masks, take up all manner of jobs to support themselves, and talk about how they’ve either had to move to a new home or out of state. I’m Fine (Thanks For Asking) thankfully falls in the latter category due to how it approaches the toll this pandemic has had on people. Others, like Songbird, have utterly squandered their premise. Some films have managed to make the most of things and told great stories, including Locked Down which was essentially a heist/romance film set in the age of COVID.
