Yes, God, Yes gets at why sex-negative religious instruction is so harmful to developing teens, and how it hurts teen girls especially. The conclusion? Catholic school is hell on earth
Maiden Voyage/RT after a rumor about her engaging in a sex act at a party spreads through the school. Though the rumor is untrue, Alice still feels guilty because shebeen exploring her burgeoning sexuality through racy AOL chatrooms. In an attempt to rehabilitate her image and reclaim her sense of religious devotion, she attends a school-sponsored weekend retreat.
Dyer plays Alice with the right tonal balance of teenage curiosity and childlike naiveté. When the ill-fated rumor reaches her, she’s equal parts shocked and intrigued. She doesn’t know what it means to “toss someone’s salad” but she does know exactly where inthe sex scene happens, and she watched it three times in a row.
For the boys, it’s different. Chris is a student leader at the retreat and on the school’s football team. He’s enthusiastic about God and open about engaging with Alice and the other students. But he’s also a teenager. Alice spends lots of time orchestrating ways for them to be alone together, and on one such occasion, she springs on him, overcome. They make out briefly and enthusiastically until Chris recoils, horrified, unwanted boner in tow.
Later, Alice confronts Wade , the student whose salad she presumably tossed. Wade assumes Alice started the rumor and is angry that his girlfriend almost dumped him because of it. But when Alice asks why he hasn’t actually been refuting the allegation, he has nothing to say. It’s all well and good to call Alice a slut and let her bear the brunt of social stigma, but despite his protestations, there’s value for Wade in being perceived as sexually dominant.
It’s only when she runs away to a local bar that she starts to get the information she actually needs. The owner Gina tells her that she also used to be Catholic, but she moved away from religion when she realized that the fear of hell was hampering her ability to live a full life. Alice unloads her own fears and shames and realizes with Gina’s help that the worries she’s carrying only matter if she lets them.
