Review by Amanda Gilmore for Mr. Will Wong

Sarah (Eva Green) is an astronaut and mother who has dreamed of going to space her entire life. When the opportunity finally comes what will she have to sacrifice to make her dream a reality?

Proxima is a movie that talks about the sacrifices we make, specifically women, to have the delicate balance of family and dreams. What Director-Writer Alice Winocour does is never judge Sarah and her decisions. She uses the camera as a fly-on-the-wall allowing the audience to project their judgments upon her themselves. The writing is rich and Green is outstanding in the role. She also has great chemistry with her onscreen daughter which leads to the audience’s investment into their relationship.

Proxima screens at TIFF on Sat, Sep 7 at Winter Garden Theatre at 6:15 PM, Sun, Sep 8 at Scotiabank Theatre at 1:45 PM and Fri, Sep 13 at TIFF Bell Lightbox at 1:15 PM.

Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.

Shailene like we’ve never seen her before!  Ever since we first saw the Trailer for WHITE BIRD IN A BLIZZARD from Director Gregg Araki, we’ve been mesmerized and now we’d like to take some Toronto Readers to see it first!

Official Synopsis:
Kat Connors (Shailene Woodley) is 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve (Eva Green), a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears – just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother’s absence and certainly doesn’t blame her doormat of a father, Brock (Christopher Meloni), for the loss. In fact, it’s almost a relief.

But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve‘s disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother’s departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it…

Did we just see Gabourey Sidibe in that Trailer too?!? I think we did!
