Critics Consensus

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

4/5

...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...

4/5

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.

4/5

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

Basic review......ignore all the pretentious analysis....could a film be any less interesting or boring, such as this. Dull

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.

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)
