Growing up in the Midwest in the early OOs, sixteen-year-old Alice has always been a good Catholic. But when an innocent AOL chat turns racy, she discovers masturbation and is overwhelmed with guilt. Seeking redemption, she attends a mysterious religious retreat to try and suppress her urges, but it isn't easy, especially after a cute upperclassman starts flirting with her.

I really enjoyed this film from start to finish. Typically, my ADD has me running to get a snack (or two) during a film, but I stayed for the whole thing in one setting. Why? Well, the comedic aspect of Yes, God, Yes cannot be understated, and it points to a great moral hypocrisy that many in the Catholic Church (and other religions) perpetuate: that consensual, adult sexual relations are completely a part of life. That teenagers have sexual urges and can't be told to 'just pray the desire away.' There is more to life than any church - Catholic, Protestant or otherwise - can or will ever be able to explain, and this film shows that through an amazing lead performance that is both demurring and courageous. Highly recommend. LGBTQ+ friendly.
