Yes But No Thanks

About This Movie

So, 'Yes But No Thanks' is interesting, to say the least. It’s got this intimate, almost suffocating atmosphere that really draws you in. The pacing feels a bit slow at times but it really works for the tension building between Émilie and Joëlle. You've got this complex mix of admiration and power plays, which is really intriguing. The performances are understated, particularly Joëlle, who remains an enigma throughout—it's like she’s both a mother figure and an object of desire for Émilie. The exploration of their relationship is layered with this ambiguity that I find quite compelling. It's not flashy, but there's something raw and honest in the way it handles those delicate themes.
