Noemie Says Yes (French: Noémie dit oui) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Geneviève Albert and released in 2022.[1] The film stars Kelly Depeault as Noémie, a teenage girl who gets drawn into prostitution after running away from a youth centre.[2]

The cast also includes James-Edward Métayer, Geneviève Alarie, Sylvio Archambault, Megane Ayan, Badr Bahsis, Véronique Beaudet, Thara Hillary Benjamin, Myriam De Bonville, Anthony Bouchard, Alice Boucher, Diana Bérubé, Carole Chatel, Emi Chicoine, Rose Choinière, Dominique Denis, Sébastien Dodge, Sylvain Dupuis, Maxime Gibault and Jérémie Earp.

The film opened in theatres on April 29, 2022.[3] The provincial film review board restricted the film to viewers 16 years of age and older, a decision which Albert criticized on the grounds that it was important to educate young girls about the dangers of prostitution because of their vulnerability to being lured into it.[4]
