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.

Paul Klein

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

the film is a quiet, understated film that is more about a woman chasing a dream and trying to be a good mother than it is about science fiction.

Rated: 3/5

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)
