Alive and daring.

It's a brave film, particularly on the part of Allen, and in many ways an accomplished film. But it's so bookish and clever that you can never fully embrace it, even when you wish you could.

While Yes defies film's conventions in many, many ways, it's still that same old story, the fight for love and glory.

Potter's anachronistic rhyme schemes tumble forth with an out-damned-spot verve that rages against irrelevance.

The actors are emotional, but the presentation is theoretical to the point of absurdity.

This is the kind of movie that nice people call ambitious. Let's just leave it at that.

The result is a unique time at the art house: a work whose badness becomes guiltily pleasurable, like a Harlequin romance novel masquerading as a dissertation.
