When Sarah is chosen to join the crew of a year-long space mission called Proxima, it creates chaos in the mother-daughter relationship and puts her in a program where she is the only female. This is a space movie about a woman that takes place entirely on Earth, Proxima is another strong piece of work from a very talented director.
“Winocour has left an indelible mark on cinematic space travel, by viewing it through a feminist lens and placing more emphasis on the struggles on earth rather than the journey to the stars and beyond.” Faisal Al-Jadir Film Inquiry
