Yes is an 2004 film written and directed by Sally Potter and starring Joan Allen, Simon Abkarian, Sam Neill, Shirley Henderson, Raymond Waring, Stephanie Leonidas, and Sheila Hancock. The dialog of the film is almost entirely in iambic pentameter and usually rhymes, a fact which has garnered polarizing critical reception.
