Film Review – I’m Totally Fine

“I’m Totally Fine” examines the difficulties and the pleasures of friendship, approaching the subject from a sci-fi/dramedy angle. It highlights the interests of an alien who’s arrived on Earth to study a human, emerging in the form of a recently deceased friend, which greatly complicates the scientific experience for both of the characters. There’s a lot of the John Carpenter masterpiece “Starman” in the screenplay by Alisha Ketry, but director Brandon Dermer (a music video veteran) is making a different kind of love story, using an amusingly strange situation to explore relationships and the complexity of longtime unions. “I’m Totally Fine” does a terrific job managing silly and serious business, and leads Jillian Bell and Natalie Morales provide outstanding performances, keeping the movie relatable and real while still going for laughs.
