5 stars (Exceptional) Far more substantial than "Gravity", Eva Green and her screen daughter Stella both act with power and sensitivity. This is a stunning film and very moving. ~Anon
3 stars (Good Enough) The casting of ZĂ©lie Boulant as the vulnerable 8 year old daughter was spot on. The screenplay is all about mother and daughter with the space programme as a backdrop. ~Tubbs
