Critics Consensus

Proxima sometimes struggles to communicate its themes, but worthy intentions and a powerful central performance from Eva Green more than compensate.

Kyle M

Narratively routine when trying to live up its established potential heart monotonously met, it acts as dedication towards its subject matter with a decently respectful focus elevated by Eve Green's solid performance. (B)

Proxima is a companion piece to Ad Astra, both using journeys to space as a metaphor to examine the conflicting responsibilities of work and family and the longing for connection.

CineWomen

Astronauts both male and female have been ... leaving their families behind to strap themselves to rockets bound for outerspace. But Winocour makes the argument — amid extremely detailed documentary-esque preparations — that it’s harder for women.

AWFJ.org

Winocour's film as a whole creates a haunting, palpable dread that women of all backgrounds experience as they step out of the patriarchal boxes we are ever-expected to keep ourselves to, regardless of our supposed liberation.
