This is a whimsical examination of the lesbian singles scene told with a science fiction angle.
Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same uses its low budget very creatively to give the feel of the old-fashioned Sci-Fi B movies. In a nod to Ed Wood’s output the spacecraft are simple cardboard models. The aliens are bald with jumpsuits. They speak in a high-pitched robotic monotone similar to The Coneheads.
The black and white photography gives the film an intimate and otherworldly feel. The effects are appropriately crude, but effective and the cast of unknowns bring a lot of energy to the satirical script. The film is an engaging mixture of low-budget science fiction satire and the emerging lesbian indie-film scene.
I enjoyed it.
