Why people love it

People revisit Proximity for the same reason it broke through in 2020: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a drama rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Eric Demeusy keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The science fiction and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
