Princess Saira (voiced by Shabana Azeez), princess of Clitopolis, capital
of Gay Space, is probably the dullest person of her rather glitzy realm,
she's not exactly outgoing in any way, anything but adventurous, and she
completely lacks self confidence. Thus she totally identifies herself
through her relationship with bounty hunter Kiki the Destroyer (Bernie Van
Tiel) - who eventually ditches her for being just too dull. Then though
Kiki falls into the hand of a trio of Single White Maliens (Mark Samual
Bonanno, Zachary Ruane, Broden Kelly), who need Saira to power their
chick's magnet. And in order to save her and maybe make her love her
again, Saira steps completely out of her comvort zone and steals a rocket
ship (Richard Roxburgh) to actually go save her - only to find true love
(Gemma Chua-Tran) and defeat a crimnal cross-dressing clubowner (Kween
Kong) along the way. And once she enters the realm of the Maliens, Saira
is no longer the same woman she has been when setting out on her journey,
for better or worse ...
A character piece of self affirmation and a satire on sexual politics and
toxic masculinity, all rolled together in a space operatic romp, this film
sure is a joy to watch, with its humour that swings back and forwards
between blunt and sophisticated, its deliberately silly (but not bad)
musical numbers, its thinly disguised messages and its utter chaos. Now
sure, not everybody will get the film's brand of comedy, and also the deep
space setting is not for everyone, but that doesn't at all mean the film
cannot be fun for those who are so inclined.
Lesbian Space Princess will open in UK and Irish cinemas
June 19th, 2026.
