6/10
Good but disappointing

Eva Green is amazing as usual. The story typical French faire. Interesting to see a side you don't normally see in astronaut movies, that others either ignore or gloss over; the impact on family when you leave even if it was a bit melodramatic. However any real feminist strides made is negated by the protagonists inability to control her emotional fuel actions. A trope that's old and tired. Unfortunately without it it, there wouldn't be any drama, and I'm glad they didn't pursue the even more tired trope of "woman in a man's world". Although they kind of touch on it, which was fine because it would feel weird out of place if it ignored. Watch it just for Eva Green
