Yes, God, Yes

The film follows Alice, a devout Catholic high schooler, whose curiosity and online interactions lead her to confront her own desires and the strict teachings she was raised with. The story balances humor and drama to depict the confusion and fear surrounding female sexuality in a conservative environment.

Karen Maine expanded this feature from her own earlier short film, maintaining a personal, authentic perspective throughout. Natalia Dyer, known for her role in Stranger Things, brings nuanced vulnerability to Alice, supported by a cast including Timothy Simons and Francesca Reale.

Yes, God, Yes was produced by Maiden Voyage Pictures, RT Features, and Walking Tacos. Its independent production allowed for creative freedom in tackling delicate subjects rarely addressed in mainstream media, particularly from a woman director’s point of view.

Collectors will find this film available on DVD, making it accessible for those interested in contemporary indie cinema that challenges traditional narratives about religion and sexuality. The film’s concise length and focused storytelling make it a distinct entry in the coming-of-age genre.

Its reception highlights its candid approach to topics of masturbation and sexual guilt, uncommon in films centered on Catholic teenage girls. The film’s dialogue and situations resonate with viewers familiar with the conflict between personal identity and religious doctrine, contributing to its growing interest among physical media collectors.
