Scott A 01/03/2025 Although the premise is far fetched it is very well drawn and the acting is top notch. The astronaut’s grandmother in particular is beautifully played Once you realise this is not a film about the logistics of getting a solo astronaut to space on the cheap it becomes a very enjoyable watch See more Sánchez U 06/10/2024 The movie reflect the worse job of the cinema, because have chaotic argument, trama and history, I don't recommend in they life.
