Critics Consensus

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

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.

...while hardly a crowd-pleaser, Proxima is a thoughtful consideration of the specific difficulties that might provide obstacles to a woman’s success as an astronaut; it’s a focused, refined film that might bore some, but is worth sticking with...

Rated: 4/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Proxima is a strong character study that benefits from a more human depiction of an astronaut than the genre usually allows, bolstered by the great Eva Green.

Rated: 4/5

In Their Own League

Winocour’s script is sensitive and empathetic, inspired by Winocour’s relationship with her own young daughter.

Stephen D

Examines the difficult adjustment of a female astronaut to the demands of her young daughter as she prepares for a flight to the ISS. Eva Green copes well with the demands of her role, but it is a slow French film that traces the details of her training in Russia and struggles to engage the viewer at times.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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)
