Yes, God, Yes is, by far, the sweetest, gentlest, sincerest—and funniest—movie about sexual awakening (and masturbation!) that I can remember watching. Because I have to rewatch things so many times to get screenshots and quotes, I often worry that the Netflix algorithm will mistakenly think I'm obsessed with a movie that I hate. But in … Continue reading ‘Yes, God, Yes’ You Should Watch This Movie
