The subject matter brings to mind another great teen indie, 2004's brilliant "Saved!," but Yes, God, Yes doesn't skewer "moral" sex ed with the same satirical bite as that much more heightened take on the subject (a highly satisfying needle drop in the closing moments, however, could be interpreted as a quiet nod to the earlier film).

In several scenes, the camera stays close to Dyer’s dazzling array of expressions at the computer keyboard, while Alice processes the latest rabbit hole or interior dilemma. Maine knows a pitch-perfect performance when she sees one. Read full review

The beauty in Maines’ script, and in the performances, is how perfectly modulated everything is. Maines clearly gets some digs in at the Catholic Church, and Catholic education particularly. It’s really funny. Read full review

While Maine’s witty script is filled with more than enough sequences primed to get laughs out of any audience (with Dyer turning in a charming performance that never goes too broad), the real winners will likely be fellow Catholic school survivors, who will recognize many of the great truths in Yes, God, Yes.

Yes, God, Yes is an achingly honest and entertaining-as-hell journey through one teen's burgeoning sexuality and personal reckoning with Catholicism. Read full review

Mar 15, 2019

Yes, God, Yes is bound to rankle some conservative Christians of every denomination ... But Dyer’s Alice generates too much rooting interest, and the movie as a whole is too nondenominationally likable, for most other viewers to cast any stones. Read full review

The Playlist Kevin Jagernauth

Jul 23, 2020

Yes, God, Yes is too comfortable with itself, too certain in its moral message, while leading Alice through a narrative that is never less than sure. It’s sex comedy as gospel, preaching a placid Sunday afternoon sermon to a congregation of the converted. Read full review

Enjoyed it. I just think it's a bit short. I think there is still some things in the movie that can be have a closure.

Cute little coming of age that portrays the s3xual awakening of a young woman. Very funny and nostalgic if you went to a catholic school. Natalia Dyer is great as an adolescent in conflict when her body starts opposing what she's been taught. The execution is as basic as it could be, but ICute little coming of age that portrays the s3xual awakening of a young woman. Very funny and nostalgic if you went to a catholic school.

The movie was well done and interesting. "Alice" really did a marvelous job.
The movie really highlighted how utterly ridiculous Christian beliefs are, however. Believing in an invisible wizard in the sky and his son who somehow died for our sins 2000 years before we were born.

..wow. Masturbation is a sin? What if these people had been born in Fallujah?? They would be Muslim, purely by the luck of the draw.… Expand
