this superbly crafted yet intimate family drama is so realistic in terms of its setting and technical specificity, it sometimes feels like a documentary
this is a very quiet and contemplative film driven by characters above plot; Eva Green is spectacular in the role by really embracing this complexity of living on the edge of selfishness and selflessness
it is that kind of "inside the life of an astronaut" angle that keeps the film reasonably engaging, even if you don't care too much about the characters
Eva Green carries the film effectively, with a resilience that is both physical and mental, but also that the emotional weight only settles in for the viewer in the final handful of moments that dare to mine more profound emotions
a significant, ambitious and entirely impressive film; Alice Winocour's piece is low on melodrama and high on the type of authenticity, both physical and emotional, which wraps the audience tightly into the story
