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.

Simon A Nov 30 Basic review......ignore all the pretentious analysis....could a film be any less interesting or boring, such as this. Dull See more Stephen D May 23 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. See more Kyle M 03/21/2024 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) See more 07/16/2021 Detailed film that documents a female astronaut's preparation for space exploration, while dealing with the heartache of leaving her son behind. See more Read all reviews
