One of international cinema's most fearless and provocative filmmakers, Nadav Lapid has long been an outspoken critic of his birth country's government policies, channeling a lifetime of fury and frustration into vital films like Synonyms and Ahed's Knee that brim with righteous anger, spite, and shame. In Yes, Lapid once again takes vigorous critical aim at the Israeli government with a new approach: submission. In the days following October 7, Y., a jazz musician, and his wife Yasmin, a dancer, resolve to say yes to everything. Y. and Yasmin sell their bodies and souls to the highest bidder, surrendering themselves and their art to Israel's social, political and military elite. Soon, Y. is entrusted with a mission of the utmost importance: to compose the music for a rousing, ruthless new national anthem. Feverishly whirling between moments of satire, sincerity, and complete submission, Yes is a visceral, blistering indictment of modern Israel, and an essential addition to post-October 7 cinema.

The film, though it meanders on occasion, conjures an unkempt fury en route to a devastating final act Go to Full Review Guy Lodge Variety May 26
A whirling, maximalist satire at once despairing and exuberant, subtle as a cannonball in its evisceration of the ruling classes and those who obey them, it’s both absurdist comedy and serious-as-cancer polemic... Go to Full Review Ben Kenigsberg RogerEbert.com May 23
This frantic, outsized movie has a cumulatively purgative effect. Go to Full Review Marcelo Paredes Cinencuentro Sep 29
...the lack of ideas, the lack of clarity in the filming, and the insistence on sticking with the premise that genocide is bad make the film feel tiresome and repetitive. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luke Hicks The Film Stage Jun 5
It’s not vitriolic but chiding, free-flowing, and riotously funny until it sours into reality. Our ability to read the first, party-paced half as a sick joke is buried deep within the desolate agony of the largely Palestinian-focused second. Go to Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jun 3
The three movements that make up this musical tragedy are shot through with rage, the need to fight against everything, to make clear the contradiction of accepting one's own Jewish identity. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
