What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Kevin Maher Times (UK) Proxima is thoughtful and beautifully crafted top-tier film-making. Mar 8, 2023 Full Review Nell Minow AWFJ.org 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. Dec 2, 2021 Full Review Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) Alice Winocour's Proxima is a poignant tribute to a mother's resilience. Rated: 4/5 Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Bernard Ozarowski 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 Dec 12, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League Winocour’s script is sensitive and empathetic, inspired by Winocour’s relationship with her own young daughter. Rated: 4/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review 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 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

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 05/23/25 Full Review 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) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Audience Member Detailed film that documents a female astronaut's preparation for space exploration, while dealing with the heartache of leaving her son behind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/16/21 Full Review Read all reviews
