Yes, God, Yes (2020)

 'Yes, God, Yes' is an often awkward coming of age comedy focusing on religious sexual hypocrisy. 'Stranger Things' Natalia Dyer stars as Alice, a Junior at a Catholic High School somewhere in middle America. Alice is a good kid who is just tentatively starting to explore her sexuality, and this is set during the 2000-2001 academic year so that means re-watching the make out scene from Titanic on VHS and AOL chat boards. Alice goes to a four day Church camp and encounters rampant hypocrisy, an empathetic girl she comes out of it a much more centered person then those who were supposed to be trying to help her. It's 'Lady Bird' meets 'Easy A'. ***
