Synopsis
Yes, God, Yes (2020) is Karen Maine's coming-of-age comedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It is the early 2000s. Sixteen-year-old Alice goes to a strict Catholic school, and one accidental AOL chat flips a switch she was taught to fear.
Natalia Dyer plays Alice with a wide-eyed honesty that carries the whole film. Convinced she has done something unforgivable, she signs up for a four-day religious retreat to get right with God. The trouble: the counselors preaching purity are quietly breaking every rule they enforce. Timothy Simons turns up as Father Murphy, whose holiness gets thinner by the hour.
Maine expanded this from her own short, and she keeps it tight at 78 minutes. No lectures, no shaming the girl at the center. The movie treats teenage curiosity as ordinary instead of sinful, and the humor stays dry rather than crude. A good pick if you liked the gentler register of Lady Bird or Eighth Grade.
