Tim Realbuto is the writer of this film and also plays the main character, Patrick.

Patrick, a former child star, now a disgraced adult due to a controversy surrounding an alleged relationship with an underage boy. We are never completely sure how true this allegation was, however, the damage was done and now Patrick has turned to alcohol and pills to cope with life.

After being forced to go to his niece's high school production of Romeo & Juliet, Patrick becomes smitten with the talented actor playing Romeo, a sensitive young man named Jeremiah (Nolan Gould of TV's Modern Family) and offers to mentor him. It is the relationship between these two characters that really give the film its pulse.

I had a few problems with the film as a whole which at times felt very low budget despite the excellent script. There is an extended scene of Patrick watching in disgust as the obligatory montage of his untalented private students try to impress him despite their lack of talent and skill. I did wonder how this mess of a man would be able to keep any students.

Yet, Patrick actually has a lot of knowledge to give to someone. His lessons with Jeremiah make this clear and we become invested in how the relationship will play out. Nolan Gould is very well cast and appealing as the protege who may or may not be as naive as Patrick thinks. Their scenes together are electric.

YES was originally a play and watching the film made me wish I had had the opportunity to see it live on stage.

Tim and Nolan both did great work together. It was so nice to hear about the movie from Tim itself. The production time was so short and it is unbelieveable. It was so nice to hear how Tim prepared to his role. Amazing!

Saw this movie at an LGBTQ festival in Palm Springs. I can't believe that somebody has rated this movie a 1! It made me laugh and cry and feel every emotion. Tim Realbuto and Nolan Gould are giving two of the best performances I've seen in a very long time. Absolutely brilliant, do not miss it! WOW

I went into this film not knowing what it was, what it was about and ready to move on if it did not engage. What I found was a profoundly moving exploration of life, loss and the devastating effects it can have, but above all the pursuit to make sense of it all through whatever means, in this case an acting class. The acting is sublime, there are moments of such intensity it takes one's breath away, the directing never obtrusive but compelling, a masterclass of how to transpose a theater play to the screen. This film deserved recognition from the Oscars, Golden Globes etc., yes, it's that good.... but then perhaps there are works of art that are even too good, and personal, for such recognition. Thank you to all involved.
