Synopsis:
Eva Green gives a career-best performance in this epic and emotionally charged new drama from acclaimed director Alice Winocour. Green plays Sarah, a French astronaut training at the European Space Agency in Cologne. The only woman in the arduous programme she has been chosen to be part of the crew of a year-long space mission called 'Proxima'. Putting enormous strain on her relationship with her daughter (played by outstanding newcomer Zelie Boulant-Lemesle), the training begins to take its toll on both as Sarah's training progresses and the launch looms ever closer.
Featuring stunning performances from the entire cast which includes Matt Dillon, Lars Eidinger and Sandra Huller, 'Proxima' is an unmissable cinematic experience which will take you on a gripping, emotional and life-affirming journey.

Bland Drama - Proxima review by GI

Spoiler Alert
09/04/2021

A somewhat bland psychological drama in which Eva Green plays Sarah who is overjoyed to be selected as one of the three man crew for a spaceflight to Mars as part of the European Space Agency program. The intense training and difficulties with the misogynistic team leader Mike (Matt Dillon) are hard but nothing compared to the unsettling trauma of the separation Sarah has to endure from her young daughter, Stella (Zélie Boulant - remarkable performance and the best thing about the film). It's in their relationship and it's gradual erosion that the drama is focused. The trouble is the film is anticlimactic and it settles for sentimentality and a huge dose of implausibility making it a disappointing affair. Eva Green gives a sound performance and there are times the film is very watchable but it lacks a sense of the dramatic which is tantalisingly hinted at but never forthcoming.

Interesting and enjoyable film - Proxima review by AW

Spoiler Alert
25/01/2021

A really interesting film to watch with excellent acting by all of the participants, especially Eva Green (Sarah). The film provides an insight into the arduous and demanding space training involved both physically and mentally and the effect this has on the space crew's family, especially Sarah's daughter. Eva Green makes her role personal. Definitely worth watching this film - highly recommended.

The human story behind space travel - Proxima review by DO

Spoiler Alert
27/05/2021

A mother’s perspective on space travel, and the emotional tug between work and kids. Vventure, risk taking, v. Being there, and returning safely for the children. Loved the last frames showing how many real mothers have been through this dilemma. The little girl acting the daughter was amazing.  Really got into the film & enjoyed it. Memorable. Highly recommended!
