Reviews:
Jack has found a powerful way of showing that to us through the sister's actions - and through the brother's questions, we see that proof that the depressed/suicidal are still functional thinkers & very much aware. "Are You Okay?" accomplishes quite a bit on the inside of such a short timeframe, revealing a depth of emotion that most full-length movies don't even achieve. I'm giving this film four stars out of five – it's well shot and well written, armed with evocative acting & a thought-provoking script, and helmed by a director that clearly cares about the delicate nature of this subject matter - without being at all afraid to present a real perspective & point of view. It's an openly vulnerable short film, and it's really well done.
