Overview - Director and Screenwriter Karen Maine's big-screen debut "Yes God Yes", is a teenager sex satire, yet it's keenly confined as one about self-satisfaction. The film is about the topic of what Alice is and isn't happy to forfeit for her confidence, and afterward, there's simply the more physical, cozy kind satisfaction.
Natalia Dyer is Alice, a sophomore at a Christian secondary school in Iowa. Like most adolescents, she's grappling with her thriving sexuality, an excursion that isn't helped by the severe sexual training she gets at school. Alice and her schoolmates' exercises from Father Luke (Timothy Simons) come total with strange allegories and damnation alerts about the wrongs of early sex. When Alice winds up turned on by an unforeseen talk online chat experience, she feels embarrassed.
After the incident certain colleagues start talk about her having sexual contact with a guy at a function, she feels shunned. Alice chooses a school-sorted out retreat end of the week is the open door she needs to demonstrate her innocence, fix her social standing, and get directly with God. The retreat, in any case, presents her with considerably more enticement, and carries Alice up close and personal with the lip service of what she's been educated.
Karen Maine's shots makes a thoughtful and humurous take a gander at being a young girl confronting the weights of virtue culture. Drawn from her own encounters, she nails the head on contemporary Christianity. From the outset, Alice appears to attempt to make the wisest decision, anyway she falls prey to her own wants and frailties. She doesn't do anything gigantic, or anything more awful than her companions. What Alice realizes, is that people are amazingly blemished, regardless of the amount they attempt to cover it with honesty.
"Yes God, Yes" is a fast watch, and that works out in support of its. In spite of the fact that brief, there's a heart and validity to Maine's story that pushes it along at an ideal pace. As a watcher, you long to see Alice locate a safe, non-critical outlet to investigate her needs and needs as she develops, and the result is fantastically justified, despite all the trouble. These various perplexing feelings Alice encounters are additionally raised by Dyer's presentation, which is inconspicuous yet convincing in any case. There's an oddity to Alice that can't be crushed, and Dyer keeps up that all through the film's runtime, even as things around her heighten.
The film is interesting all the way, Yes, God, Yes left me grinning for the most part since I could relate so well to the conditions. In its concise one and half hour, Karen Maine figures out how to make a story that sneaks up suddenly, however leaves you needing more. Natalia Dyer is charming as Alice, and sparkles in this comedic job. The supporting cast is all beguiling in their own particular manner. Wolfgang Novogratz is delightful and charming as Chris, the object of Alice's dreams. Susan Blackwell makes a splendid execution in her concise appearance.
Final Word - "Yes God Yes" is a beguiling, clever film while it endures, brimming with incredible exhibitions, however maybe excessively shortsighted. Karen Maine utilizes fastidiously formed at this point openly innovative visual and sonic surfaces to form the film into a clear, shifted comedic show and a mind-boggling depiction of internal experience.
A Great Story About Inner Feeling!
