Ignore all the 8-10 star ratio ratings, as well as all the 1-3 star drags. This movie is ok.
Yes, it has a lesbian angle, but it is only slightly there and not really sexual. Why it's there idk... my main criticism is that there is no outer world scene in this movie. It's just the island. 1 or 2 scenes from the greater scifi/whatever-world would make a huge difference.
As it is the plot is pretty basic but solid. Any deapth to this story or characters will have to be strongly inferred. The ending wraps up nicely but kind of fails for reasons that I won't spoil but offer nothing but an out of place emotional manipulation to the veiwer, but that's the film makers prerogative. The acting is good, not great. Overall the movie works but offers nothing new.
Gave it a 6/10 until that last scene twist I mentioned, as it served no purpose and took away what might have been a satisfying ending to the story; but the tell of a bad writer is when they make their characters always "win" even when it betrays the story, character, & veiwer/reader. So 5 it is. (Such bad taste that I want to give it a 4 though.)
