Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Yes, God, Yes (2020)

Good Catholic girl in the age of dial-up gets propositioned online and finds herself in a cybersex session before realizing what is happening. This spark breaks the dam that had been holding in her own sexual urges, which leads to guilt and shame. While struggling with her new desires and everyone else's seeming perfection, she finds herself very much alone. She's the victim of cruel rumors, which puts her on the outs with both classmates and teachers alike. 

Having grown up in a repressed religious environment, I am glad that our protagonist gets to peek behind the curtain to discover that everyone is sexual. That's important. But that doesn't make this a very good movie.
