Before you dive into my review of this movie, I must disclose two factors that influenced my perception. Firstly, Robinson Crusoe is my all-time favorite story, which naturally predisposed me to like this movie from the beginning. Secondly, I have a fondness for apocalyptic movies of all kinds, further adding to my initial positive bias. That being said, I found this film to be quite enjoyable. In fact, I've already watched it three times over the past three months.
However, after my most recent viewing last night, I noticed that the movie's charm has somewhat diminished. Upon reflection, I believe this feeling is largely attributed to the nostalgia associated with the movie as a whole, particularly the soundtrack, which, in my opinion, beautifully captures the essence of music from the past decade or so.
While my initial predisposition due to my love for Robinson Crusoe and apocalyptic movies led me to find this film decent and enjoyable, repeated viewings have revealed certain shortcomings. Despite its appealing soundtrack and nostalgic elements, I must admit that upon closer examination, much of the story throughout this movie lacks direction and substance.

No pun intended - also no Friday and other stuff you may remember from movies with a similar theme. On the other hand you do get two lovely (very good looking) women ... this may check a lot of boxes for those watching horror/thriller movies like this one. And before you cry that you may want to have a handsome fellow in there too ... well there is one.
Now the core are the two females though - don't expect this to show anything - too enticing. This keeps everything at a PG level. You can love someone and live with someone and no one will ever see your skin I reckon. No pun intended - because what lies beneath is two quite gullible individuals ... so gullible you may feel the need to shake them up and ask them, if they seriously are that oblivious ... anyway, I've seen worse movies and this looks good (women and location wise that is) - so there is that (cinematography) and all that.

What a fun watch! Cara and Emily had such a light-hearted and natural connection during the entire film. They complimented and paired so nicely with each other.
However, I loved Cara (Sofia)!! She is so talented and I am so looking forward to all upcoming films she will be casted in. She is mesmerizing!!
The scenery of the film was beautiful and the ending was not what I expected it to be! I was kept on my feet the entire film and was anxious to see how it was going to turn out! Overall, it was a pleasure-able and enjoyable film that I would recommend and watch again. Thanks Tubi for the fun watch!

Cara was the highlight of the film for me. I believe the actress who portrayed her is Sofia. Her performance was so powerful in bringing more depth to the relationship and arch into the film. Not only that, her own character story was so poignant that really moved me when she spoke about her past. There was so much specificity and clarity of thought that really provided so much backbone to the central story of this film. It was intriguing to watch her subtle and nuanced expressions throughout the film that conveyed so much subtext and emotions that could not be spoken. Can't wait to see her future works now!!!
GREAT MOVIE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Great acting !! Wish there was a second movie along with it. Wasn't expecting it to be that good. The chemistry was on point. I'm definitely recommending this show to my friends. The leading actors did a great job representing the LGBTQ community and they're acting skills were phenomenal. Very impressive.
