And her newest summer movie, Am I Ok?, promises to be just as emotional. Here's everything you need to know about the new movie. Loving the Dakota hype?

Am I Ok? is based on writer Lauren Pomerantz' real experience coming out in her 30s, and the movie also reflects Lauren's friendship with producer Jessica Elbaum, who she's known since 2004. I can't wait to see how the movie highlights the complexities, authenticity, and emotion of female friendships!!

If you've been on the internet at any point in the last 10 years, there's a good chance you've seen the viral Dakota Johnson x Ellen DeGeneres interview, where Ellen playfully accuses Dakota of not sending her a birthday invitation. Not only did the clip give us years of laughter, but according to People, writer Lauren Pomerantz was working for the Ellen DeGeneres show that day AND director Tig Notaro performed at Dakota's infamous birthday party, leading to their collaboration. It really is a small world after all!
