‘AM I OK?’ Review: Dakota Johnson & Sonoya Mizuno Find True Love In A Heartwarming Coming Out Tale [Sundance]

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media ReporterWarner Bros. and HBO Max has nabbed “Am I OK?,” a romantic comedy starring Dakota Johnson as a woman grappling with her sexuality.

You’re probably aware by now that Gwyneth Paltrow and Dakota Johnson are basically family.

Moving on and feeling the love. Gwyneth Paltrow opened up about moving on after divorce and how she feels about ex-husband Chris Martin‘s girlfriend Dakota Johnson.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a big fan of Dakota Johnson, who’s dating her ex-husband Chris Martin.

If you’ve never been to Sundance before, you can expect a lot of fresh features from oft-marginalized directors and — at least these days — films shot with square aspect ratios. “Girl Picture,” a delightful, Finnish coming-of-age tale by the director Alli Haapasalo, fulfills both criteria.

Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't help but gush over her ex-husband Chris Martin's girlfriend Dakota Johnson while hosting an Instagram Q&A on Friday night.The opportunity came about when the 49-year-old was asked by one curious fan if she 'loves' Johnson.'Very much,' penned Paltrow, who has only spoken fondly of the 32-year-old Fifty Shades Of Grey star since she began dating Martin, 44, in 2017. All love:Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't help but gush over her ex-husband Chris Martin's girlfriend Dakota Johnson while hosting an Instagram Q&A on Friday night Curious:The opportunity came about when the 49-year-old was asked by one curious fan if she 'loves' JohnsonIn keeping with her first marriage to Martin, which ended in a separation in 2014 after 10 years of marriage, someone else asked her,'Do you feel you can really move on, after a divorce?''Oh, absolutely.

picked up by AppleTV+ for $15 million and like 2020’s big Sundance seller “Palm Springs,” in a few months everybody will be watching — and adoring — it. Raiff plays Andrew, a 22-year-old recent college grad who lives with his mom (Leslie Mann) and stepdad (Brad Garrett) and still shares a bedroom with his little brother David (Evan Assante). A regular New Jersey Peter Pan. Charismatic Andrew has no life prospects and is working at a fast food joint called Meat Sticks when some local mothers realize he’d be great at livening up bar mitzvahs — getting kids on the dance floor, telling jokes and, on occasion, flirting with the parents.At one party he’s running, Andrew convinces an autistic girl named Lola (Vanessa Burghardt) to dance with him and then starts chatting up her mom, Domino (Dakota Johnson).

It took Evan Rachel Wood years to muster the courage to name her abuser. A lot of people knew who he was, divorced from her, because of his job, his public persona, his notorious reputation — controversial, provocative, fundamentally harmful.

Apple has closed the biggest deal of the 2022 Virtual Sundance Film Festival, securing worldwide rights to the Cooper Raiff-directed Cha Cha Real Smooth for around $15 million. The streamer has been the front runner for the picture since it premiered January 23 in the US Dramatic Competition category.

“If we break any human being open, they contain worlds; they contain galaxies, and we’re often not as curious or interested in the people all around us.” Video essayist turned filmmaker Kogonada’s remarkable feature debut “Columbus” was about the meeting of two worlds invisibly occupying the same space. The film almost feels out of time, or that itself time stops, every time its lead characters find meaning and solace in one another.

At first glance, actor-writer-director Cooper Raiff’s “Cha Cha Real Smooth” might look like your typical cutesy and whimsical Sundance dramedy, about a twenty-something college graduate learning a valuable life lesson and experiencing a bit of a delayed coming of age. While that’s not an inaccurate description of Raiff’s disarmingly lovely film (programmed in this year’s US Dramatic Competition), what feels miraculous about “Cha Cha” is: it doesn’t come with even an ounce of that cringe-inducing Sundance fancifulness, a brand that many love to hate.

If two people who lack a common language want to communicate, they’ll find a way to communicate. The characters in “blood,” the first new film from Bradley Rust Gray in a decade, don’t exactly lack a common language, but coltish English and crummy Japanese necessitate auxiliary tools for communication, such as food, dance, music, flowers, and art.

“Have you ever felt vertigo looking into the sky?” Nadeem Shahzad asks over voiceover roughly fifteen minutes into “All That Breathes.” The accompanying shot looks straight up into a sunny yet smog-streaked sky as a swirl of black kites swoops and careens overhead. The birds are numerous, too many to count, but their movements are mesmerizing.

Hiding underwater to escape her vicious aggressors, a rush of terror washes over Sara (Laura Galán), a large-bodied teenager target of incessant insults, and worse, about her weight. The callousness of the bullying perpetrated against her one summery afternoon won’t go unpunished but will place the victim in a conundrum fluctuating between guilt and a warranted desire for retribution.

Martin and Johnson then came into view, with Martin throwing a peace sign before exiting the room.It was a rare sighting of the couple, who have been dating since 2017, and followed Johnson recently addressing the relationship in an interview with ELLE UK.“We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cozy and private,” she said, before adding that “most of the partying takes place inside my house”.Meanwhile, last November Johnson said that Alfred Hitchcock “terrorised” her grandmother Tippi Hedren and “ruined her career”.Hedren worked with the director in the early 1960s on The Birds And Marnie, and claimed in her 2016 memoir that Hitchcock sexually assaulted her a number of times.Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter‘s Awards Chatter podcast, The Lost Daughter actress was asked whether Hedren was encouraging of her going into the same industry.

The 2022 Sundance Film Festival obviously has so much to offer. Big premieres from indie auteurs, world cinema, documentaries, films for kids, and movies that are receiving so much acclaim right now, you’ll be hearing more from them later in the year upon regular theatrical release.

In May 1948, after the controversial approval of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, war broke out between Arab and Jewish factions in the region. The conflict began due to claims over the same land.

Chris Martin to the rescue! The 44-year-old Coldplay frontman helped out girlfriend Dakota Johnson when her video call wasn't working during a virtual event for the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.The 32-year-old actress was scheduled to chat about her film, , but when programmer Charlie Sextro introduced her, he was met with silence for several seconds.When Johnson did eventually pop up on screen she wasn't solo, but rather giggling next to Martin who'd presumably gotten her technology to work. Martin didn't stick around for the discussion, quickly flashing a peace sign at the camera as he dashed out of the room.The rare sighting of the private couple came less than a month after Johnson spoke about her relationship during an interview with .«We’ve been together for quite a while, and we go out sometimes, but we both work so much that it’s nice to be at home and be cozy and private,» she said, before adding that «most of the partying takes place inside my house.»After Johnson and Martin were linked in 2018, Johnson told  that she was «not going to talk about» her romance, adding, «But I am very happy.»The two went on to make a rare public appearance in September 2019 at a charity event.

Chris Martin has Dakota Johnson's back. The 44-year-old Coldplay frontman has been dating Johnson, 32, since 2017, and the two have maintained a relatively private romance — though fans got a peek into their home life on Sunday during the Sundance Film Festival. Among the festival's lineup on Sunday was a virtual discussion with the team behind the film "Cha Cha Real Smooth," which debuted at the festival, featuring Johnson, Cooper Raiff and Vanessa Burghardt.

Things have not been going well for Emily. Some of it is just terrible luck.
