At Cannes, the film generated enthusiasm among critics. It surprised audiences with its baroque, at times pop-inspired, aesthetic, its deafening soundtrack and its frenetic pace – all rare features for such a tough subject. That served to confirm Lapid's aura among cinephiles, who have been intrigued by both his filmography and his undeniably charismatic and ambitious personality. Lapid received the Special Jury Prize at Locarno in 2011 for Policeman, his first feature-length film, the Golden Bear at Berlin in 2019 for Synonyms, and, two years later, the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Ahed's Knee. Oron Shamir, a critic for the Israeli daily Haaretz and the online magazine Srita, described him as "the best-known and most talked-about filmmaker in the country since Amos Gitai."

Gitai confided that he was "very eager to see Yes," adding about his younger colleague that "the best tribute an artist can pay to their own culture is to be critical." Like Gitai, Lapid casts a fierce eye on a society he considers "riddled with nationalism, disconnected from the reality surrounding it."

It does not appear to be available on most streaming sites, but it may be available to rent or buy through Apple/Amazon type services. Since it just debuted, I'll have to look again in a year or so.
