⭐ Insomniacs Rating: 7/10 THE SUMMARY Dakota Johnson and Sonoya Mizuno star in this gentle, sun-drenched indie about the messiness of growing up when you’re already supposed to be an adult. Lucy (Johnson) is 32, stuck in a rut, and starting to realize that her total lack of interest in men might be more than just "bad luck." When her ride-or-die best mate Jane (Mizuno) announces she’s moving to London, the looming separation pushes Lucy to finally drop a drunken truth bomb: she thinks she’s a lesbian. What follows is a sincere, awkward, and often funny exploration of a "late bloomer" coming out, all while the two friends navigate the terrifying reality of their codependent bond finally stretching across an ocean. THE PROS Dakota Johnson is a total winner here; she plays Lucy with a petrified shyness and a dry wit that feels incredibly honest for anyone who’s ever felt "behind" in life. The chemistry between her and Sonoya Mizuno is the high-quality heart of the movie—they actually feel like two people who have shared a decade of inside jokes and breakfast orders. It’s a 7/10 because the film captures the specific anxiety of being in your 30s and feeling like everyone else has the manual except you. Directed by Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne, the vibe is brisk and charming, avoiding the usual "coming out" clichés by focusing more on the endurance of female friendship. The scenes where Lucy tries to navigate her first queer spaces are gripping in their relatable awkwardness. THE CONS It earns a 7/10 because the middle part is quite sluggish, occasionally leaning too heavily on standard indie "walk and talk" tropes that don't always move the needle. Some of the dramatic conflict between Lucy and Jane in the final part feels a bit contrived, like a "head-scratcher" argument added just to ensure a third-act dip before the resolution. It misses a higher mark because the supporting characters—specifically the love interest—feel a bit thin and quality-deficient compared to the central duo. The ending is a bit too "neat" and predictable, wrapping things up with a crowd-pleasing bow that feels a little at odds with the messy, honest energy of the rest of the film. THE VERDICT A 7/10. A sincere and endearing watch that is a winner for anyone who loves a character-driven story about identity and loyalty. It’s a banger of a "chick flick" (in the best way possible) that treats its queer themes with a refreshing, low-stakes maturity. While it doesn't quite reach "epic status" or reinvent the genre, it’s a quality choice for a quiet Sunday afternoon when you want something that feels human and recognizable. A decent shout if you’re a fan of Johnson’s understated style or just need a reminder that it’s never too late to figure out who you are. INSOMNIAC TRIVIA • Real-Life Roots: The screenplay is based on the personal coming-out story of writer Lauren Pomerantz, who wrote the film as a sincere tribute to her own late-blooming journey and her lifelong best friend.• Directorial Duo: The film was directed by real-life couple Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne, which helps explain the honest, lived-in feel of the queer representation and the casual humor throughout.• Sundance Success: Though it officially hit streaming in 2024, the film was a massive "win" at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it was snapped up by HBO Max/Warner Bros. after a heated bidding war. THE VIBE Like a lukewarm iced coffee in a dusty thrift store. It smells of expensive shampoo, old paint, and the metallic tang of a nervous "first date" text.
