    A lovely nostalgic watch I wish I'd seen as a teen. Would make a perfect double bill with Now and Then.

    So many great lines but my favourite comes early on: "they're not just girls, they're you. And if you get to know them, you might just discover yourself."

    Just lovely, a low budget sci-fi delight. I really enjoyed the design of this - the mix of VFX (outside the ship) and practical (inside the ship).

    Yes, we've seen films like this before but this seems to make that story new again.

    That last shot in particular, divine.

    If there is one thing I love it's weird brown girl representation.

    I would have loved to see a film like this growing up, heck I'm delighted to see it now.

    Is it a nice movie? Biscuits are nice. This is a knockout.

    Silly, sexy, surprising and gross all at once. There's something so poignant about having a queer female relationship at the centre of a film where power oozes out of every frame.

    It was wonderful to watch this in a sold out cinema with such responsive viewers, everyone laughing and grimacing together. A great start to GFF24.
