Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same is an American independent 2011 comedy film written and directed by Madeleine Olnek.[2][3] It parodies lesbian culture and low-budget American 1950s science-fiction films in the style of Ed Wood.[4][5][6]

The film is about three lesbian space aliens that come to Earth.[7] Once on Earth, one of the space aliens, Zoinx, falls in love with an employee at a greeting card store named Jane. Jane shyly returns Zoinx's affection and they begin a romance, though Jane does not know that Zoinx is a space alien. In the meantime, Jane, Zoinx, and Zoinx's friends do not know that they may be in trouble: there are two government agents--men in black—are monitoring Jane as she starts to become closer to a woman who the men feel does not belong on this planet.

Reception

The movie premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and currently has an 89% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes.[8] The movie was nominated in the category of Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You at the 2011 Gotham Independent Film Awards.
