3.5/4
"Sally Potter has achieved a work that sings to us -- sensually, angrily, and beautifully."

David N. Butterworth
B+
"Has its moments of curious pronouncements about the world that have the ring of poetical truths."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
"The tale is sensual despite a lack of naked skin --'his' whispers at an upscale bar and 'her' reaction are more erotic than loads of visual flesh."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
C-
"If I really were a more clever man, I’d spend more time in the sun getting tan, And less time watching films that were a mess, Then I’d be saved from writing about Yes"

Edward Havens
B
"It's rare to see a movie that sounds like poetry, and rarer still to see one whose ideas and themes warrant such treatment."

Eric D. Snider
D
"Both crushingly pretentious and oddly silly--rather like the cinematic equivalent of Jack Handey's 'Deep Thoughts,' but without the saving grace of intentional humor."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
4.5/5
"An enticing and erotic love story that takes us into fresh territory in its exploration of the divisions that separate people from each other."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2/4
"It's meant as a beacon light into the souls of life's invisibles, but it's time for Potter to stop deconstructing her liberal guilt."
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
85/100
"In the wake of London's own terrorist attacks, Yes is a film that needs to be seen."
FilmFocus
Joe Utichi
C
"[a] Greek chorus of cleaners, whose discourse on mites, germs and viruses...doesn't mesh at all with central themes of religion, politics, racism and love..."

3/4
"Asking leads to talking, and through talking we connect"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
1.5/5
"endless, numbing"
Filmcritic.com
Pete Croatto
2.5/5
"Punctuated with genuinely powerful scenes, but it's overloaded with dialog and ideology, and extremely heavy going from the start."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C
"This is art house fare and for those who intrigued by the idea of poetry as dialogue. I'm not intrigued and I give it a C."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
5/10
"Rhyme - iambic pentameter - is the big gimmick here, not reason. It's a risky linguistic endeavor."
Modamag.com
Susan Granger
1.5/4
"What Potter believes is very interesting is only very interesting to her."
