My take:
1. She’s not aging well.
2. Movie was good.
3. Very similar in spirit to Contact and Stanislaw lem’s Solaris.
4. NYT over hypes it, but it is a decent movie to go see. Not very many of them these days.
She is a good-looking 42-year-old woman.
If they had made her look young and glamorous, the movie would have made no sense.
To paraphrase Master Yoda: When forty two years old you reach, look as good you will not.
I think she looks a good 42.
