VHYes Reviews
VHYes is very obviously striving for an Adult Swim brand of absurdity, but there's a reason most of those shows are 15 minutes long.

Director Jack Henry Robbins crams an eighties aesthetic into his magnificent feature debut that blasts apart families, nostalgia, capitalism, art, and just about everything else that can be tarnished with the brush of absurd kookiness.

Cursed words like "Facebook" and "Instagram" are never uttered in VHYes, for obvious reasons, but the movie reads like Robbins' thesis that for as long as people have been able to self-document, they've done so with relish...
| Original Score: 7.9/10 | Mar 11, 2020
What makes this lo-fi, heartfelt whatsit of a movie so endearing is its willingness to embrace the schizophrenic, protean polyculture of modern pleasure ..

Throughout, "VHYes" laces its nostalgia with bitter poison, reminding its audience that even in the carefree couch potato days of 1987, the end-times always loomed.

Uneven retro comedy has lots of sex, drug humor.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 30, 2020
A skit-filled 'Kentucky Fried Movie'-like takedown of kitsch 1980s media culture develops into a far more prescient and surprisingly moving satire.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 27, 2020
The amusing but initially disposable sketch format gathers momentum and a series of mini-threads emerge.

VHYES is one of the most unique films I've seen in quite some time and it's a film I could watch over and over again.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Jan 21, 2020
VHYES is a look back at a specific and odd time where UHF was a wasteland and people were just beginning to have an interceding presence between them and experiencing the moment, full of pinpoint period accuracy and lots of perfectly bizarre bits

[VHYes] in all its throwback glory frustrates and amazes in equal measures as a genre mind-bender - connecting unrelated events into a mixed-bag of goodies.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 20, 2020
...we keep waiting for that moment where we can start to laugh along with the filmmakers. Sadly, it never comes.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 20, 2020
It's not grade A comedy, but I respected it for being so flat out bizarre.
| Jan 20, 2020
Nostalgia mixes with absurdity here, and somehow, it works. In particular, the way Robbins throws in some commentary and satire elevates things.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 18, 2020
Weird experimental film, that's not for everyone.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 18, 2020
This is a movie that is really just a stream of consciousness, experimental, Robot Chicken-style collage.
| Jan 18, 2020
VHYes is not for mainstream tastes, there really are no production values to speak of, but the aesthetic is sublime.

Those of a certain age will find this retro comedy hits a certain nostalgic sweet spot, even if its fragmented nature becomes frustrating.

Weird and creepy and funny and an exceptional social commentary on our society.
