Reviews
Sally Potter has achieved a work that sings to us -- sensually, angrily, and beautifully.
Has its moments of curious pronouncements about the world that have the ring of poetical truths.
An experimental film that's dissatisfying in its literary pretentions and artistic ambitions to portray characters that are both particular individuals and political symbols
You’ll either be reaching for your barf bag (me) or you’ll be captivated (Oprah book club members with lifetime subscriptions to True Romance magazine).
Despite many interesting mise-en-scene moments, the film disappointingly feels as sterile as the family's immaculately clean house.
Pretentious or artistic? ... a visceral film that is both hypnotic and irritating.
Despite the excellence of [Potter's] film craft and the quality of the performances, the movie’s gimmicky use of language upstages its humanity.
The actors are so committed to Potter's vision, they persuade you to go along with them.
Art-house director Sally Potter casts a great actress in her canvas.
A rich stew of intellectualism and eroticism, sort of like My Dinner With Andre with better sex scenes.
Your taste in movies may not be/ Quite so highbrow or so twee/ But Potter has a lot to say/ About the troubles of our day.
...earns its place with its grace notes, its confidence and, above all, its high ambition.
In the wake of London's own terrorist attacks, Yes is a film that needs to be seen.
