Eva Green and Zélie Boulant in Proxima (2019)

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 Zélie Boulant-Lemesle), the training begins to take its toll on both as Sarah’s training progresses and the launch looms ever closer.

Trivia
Although Eva Green was raised in France, she attended an English-speaking school from a young age, and can speak both French and English flawlessly. Her French accent when speaking English in the movie is thus highly exaggerated.

Goofs
When Sarah seals an envelope for her daughter Stella and writes her daughter's name on the envelope., she does not cross the 't' in Stella's name.

Crazy credits
Interspersed through the end credits are images of various female astronauts with their children.

Turgid melodrama

It isn't a question of how flashy the sci fi is, it is a question of how interesting and challenge it is. Proxima is neither. In fact it is so didactic as to be insulting to the audience and seems to assume the audience are dullards that need repetition.
