Photo: 'Yes, God, Yes'/Netflix Netflix’s new film 'Yes, God, Yes' is a coming-of-age comedy that creatively captures the consequences of repressing sexual impulses and the various techniques employed to counteract them. The film is an accurate and original showcase of engaging in religious taboos, exploring the internalized guilt that results from even entertaining supposed sin-like behavior. Casting did an exceptional job assembling these characters, starring the captivating Natalie Dyer from Stranger Things, who nails the youthfully awkward and timid essence that lends so well to the narrative. Although quiet and rather coy, her subdued personality makes for a laughable contrast to her mischievous behavior. Attending a strict midwestern Catholic school in the early 2000s, rumors spread as the teenage Alice (Natalie Dyer) becomes the butt of a “salad-tossing” joke, bringing her purity and status to question.

The world is a weird place. Miranda July knows that, but the rest of us sometimes forget. Or maybe we just don’t want to admit how bizarre it is that society more or less agrees that back rubs and hot tubs and flavored chips and McRibs are an appropriate reward for a bazillion years of human development. It’s not until you visit a foreign country, or watch a foreigner trying to make sense of your own, that it starts to register just how weird it all is. That’s what artists do: Like Martian anthropologists, they see things differently, and they reflect them back to us in such a way that we can too.
With “Kajillionaire,” July devises a fresh strategy to offer an outsider’s perspective, focusing on 26-years-young Old Dolio (Evan Rachel Wood), the oddly named daughter in a family of scammers — a dysfunctional “scamily,” if ever there was one.
