I've heard good things of the movie, and some based comments the director made, so I might go to watch it, but I want to know if it's clear beforehand. Anyone who has watched it can confirm or deny it?

I've read the book. While a woman may have been "in charge" of dealing with the astrophage, she did not act like one. I don't know how her story will translate on screen, as I haven't seen it yet, but there was no group consensus seeking with that woman, she made decisions and ran over anyone and everyone who got in her way.
That's because Andy Weir is really terrible at writing characters. Project Hail Mary is essentially just The Martian with a different coat of paint. The main character is Mark Watney, the alien is rocky Mark Watney and in the flashback every character that isn't just another Mark Watney is a racial caricature without any depth. Like the Russian who speaks with a Russian accent and likes to drink vodka. Seriously. That's all there is to the character.
I still enjoyed the book but yeah... it's The Martian 2.
