Yes, God, Yes (2019) is a refreshingly honest and sharply funny coming-of-age comedy that explores the awkward intersection of teenage curiosity and religious guilt. Set in the early 2000s, the film captures a specific era of "AOL nostalgia" while tackling the universal theme of self-discovery.
Natalia Dyer stars as Alice, a 16-year-old student at a devout Catholic high school in the Midwest. After an innocent AOL chat session turns unexpectedly racy, Alice discovers masturbation and is immediately consumed by the shame instilled by her upbringing. Desperate for redemption, she attends "Kirkos," a strict four-day religious retreat, where she attempts to suppress her urges while navigating the hypocrisy of the adults around her.
