YAMAS!

About This Movie

YAMAS! is this quirky blend of comedy and social commentary that feels distinctly British. The setup – a family trying to enjoy their holiday only to have their indulgent plans turned upside down by a refugee situation – plays out with a kind of chaotic charm. The pacing really keeps you on your toes, shifting from lighthearted banter to more serious undertones that question privilege and empathy. The performances, though not from big names, have a rawness that adds to the film’s authenticity. It’s that kind of film that captures the awkwardness of family dynamics while also tackling weighty themes, though it's the practical effects and location that give it an earthy, grounded feel. Definitely a conversation starter.

YAMAS! has had a bit of a rocky road in terms of physical releases, with limited editions that often pop up but are quickly snagged by dedicated collectors. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue, as those who appreciate its blend of humor and social commentary often seek it out. Not a mainstream title, but its unique take on modern issues makes it a noteworthy find for collectors interested in indie cinema.
