Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Fernando Zamora from the newspaper Milenio wrote: "It's logical that Ok, It's Fine… to turn out to be a magnificent comedy. At the level of, for example, Temporada de patos, by Fernando Eimbcke filmed, by the way, in the same place. Because Gabriela's work Ivette Sandoval and Roberto Andrade Cerón do not need vulgarities or commonplaces to make people laugh and think, they do not need anything other than the experiences of two creators capable of laughing, first, at themselves, at their own fears and shortcomings, at the imposed need for triumph at the cost of selling ideals and making movies that are basically worth it."[13] Irving Torres Yllán from Cine NT wrote: "Ok, It's Fine… is a comedy that manages to become a drama without losing its way, with a moment that only demonstrates the lack of stability of the protagonist, who is funny despite everything."[14]
