Yes, But...

About This Movie

So, 'Yes, But...' is this really intriguing blend of comedy and drama that takes a hard look at the complexities of adolescence. Eglantine, the protagonist, is quite relatable—her home life is a mess with a dad who's never really present and a mom who's both overbearing and struggling with her own demons. The pacing feels really natural, like you’re just hanging out with her as she navigates these relationship pressures, especially with a boyfriend who's eager to take the next step. Lavandier's direction brings a certain warmth and intimacy to the film. The way Eglantine's therapy sessions unfold adds depth and offers a unique lens on her struggles. It’s definitely not your typical coming-of-age film, which is what makes it stand out.
