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.

Lapid’s garish maximalism will surely isolate some filmgoers, but the satire of Yes! Works best when it’s fearless—unbothered by the genocidal regime it captures. Go to Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times 2d
“Yes” is an unsparing movie and can be hard to watch partly because Lapid’s raw fury and maximalist approach can border on off-putting excess. Go to Full Review Eli Friedberg Slant Magazine Mar 21

There may not be a more angry film released this year than Nadav Lapid’s Yes. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 1d
A wickedly funny, provocative, bold and refreshingly unconventional satire. Reminiscent of Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness and Elia Suleiman's The Time That Remains with some shades of Buñuel and Wertmüller. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 1d
The film’s bleak cynicism is balanced by exhilarating audacity as Lapid’s satirical vision is meticulously rendered. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
