Description

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.

Reviews

“The best film of the year.” – Radu Jude

"You can hear the rage behind the laughter in Israeli satire 'Yes'... at once both a portrait of a country and of artists in times of war. [Lapid] almost seems to bait you to look away, to turn off and tune out just like his revelers, even as he inexorably pulls you in."

– Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

“Easily the most controversial film to hit theaters this year so far. It’s also, for all of the intoxicating rush and cup-spilleth-over storytelling, one of the more sobering and vital ones as well.” – David Fear, Rolling Stone

"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… it’s exhilaratingly of the moment and in the moment.”

– Guy Lodge, Variety

“The ultimate power of this movie’s radically different paces and modes is found in how they combine to suggest that people can’t live normally while perpetrating horror — whether in Israel or anywhere else. It’s 'Zone of Interest' without the need for a garden wall.” – David Ehrlich, IndieWire

“Convulsive, feverish, impactful…this film says yes, a resounding yes. To what? To the desire to make cinema, even if it's impossible, even if it's monstrous.” – Elodie Tamay, Cahiers du Cinema

“If 'Ahed’s Knee' was a scream into the void, then 'Yes' is an atom bomb thrown directly into a megaphone.” – Dan Bayer, Next Best Picture

“A portrait of an artist as a compromised man... Lapid's latest is an admonition of almost shocking import, an increasingly rare example of modern art speaking truth to power.” – Nicholas Bell, ION Cinema
