Leave your thoughts about Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same.
| CultureCatchBrandon Judell"Straight" from Sundance, CLSASS might just be the most hilarious film of 2011. |
| Screen InternationalDavid D'ArcyOn a budget that could barely get you on the subway, Madeleine Olnek gets laughs and style out of interplanetary love. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweA hilarious date movie for couples of all orientations. |
| VarietyJohn Anderson"Sweet, funny, clever comedy seeks crossover" would be the Craigslist come-on for Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same, and it may well come true via Madeleine Olnek's wry homage to '50s sci-fi, urban dating and interspecies romance. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisPhotographed in crisp black and white by Nat Bouman, this enormously likable movie keeps sexual politics on the back burner and the universal search for connection front and center. |
| Village VoiceMelissa AndersonThe played-out scenarios in Olnek's first feature, such as Jane's sessions with her therapist, are soon outnumbered by inspired silliness, like tears shed over a revolving dessert tray in a diner. |
| Slant MagazineJaime N. ChristleyMadeleine Olnek has a limited repertoire of jokes, so it's fortunate that the film, at 76 minutes, is fairly amusing, even if it's never quite laugh-out-loud funny. |
| User Reviewfelipe m"Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same" is an all too human story about loneliness, despair, otherness as well as joy, love and acceptance. The film is not perfect, but it is very well done and extremely entertaining--Isn't that what comedy features are supposed to accomplish? All of the actors give excellent performances, Lisa Haas and Dennis Davis are particular standouts, but the cast is so strong who's really choosing. Madeleine Olnek's first feature is a brilliant spoof on B movies, lesbian culture, an homage to New York City and so many other things and references. In the end, "Codependent" is just plain delightfully hilarious! |
| User ReviewMichael JFabulous film. Very sweet, funny and cleverly done. |
| User ReviewJonathan JThe title almost seems attention seeking in itself but it's only after watching it do you realise that it, like this film, it almost perfect. Caught it at the Iris Film Festival and make no mistake it was one of the best films I've seen this year. It is absolutely hilarious from start to finish and has put an awful lot of supposed big name Hollywood comedies to shame. An absolute must see! |
