Yes, God, Yes (2020)

"Yes, God, Yes" is a coming-of-age comedy. It follows a Catholic teenager navigating guilt and desire. She feels the confusing pull of early sexuality in the age of dial-up internet chat rooms. Natalia Dyer leads as the awkward, curious protagonist. She brings a squirming honesty to a role that trades on discomfort as much as humor. Alisha Boe rounds out the cast in support. She adds to the film's small but sharp ensemble. The archive carries a single scene worth noting here. It's a charged bit of sexual tension that fits the film's frank take on teenage awakening, without tipping into gratuitousness.
