A couple of weeks would have made ZERO difference.
She wanted to see him, one last time (we all would possess that instinct, I think), but had no desire to have him sit and watch her die. She explicitly rejected that. She also pushed him towards Brand because Brand was alone - she had "her" family, as she also explicitly expressed.
Y'all are shooting holes in the writing, but it does not have to be this masterful, Lost-esque web of complexity that gets lost up its own arse. People were confused with Inception's story, which was more complex than Interstellar's but he didn't hide the ball, from a narrative standpoint except that ultimate question at the very end. And Memento gets slammed for being complex - and it isn't from a writing standpoint, but merely from the POV it is presented, precisely because that was the whole point.
The writing on this film was excellent. This screenplay will be nominated for major awards. This film will end up highly decorated, rightly so.

quick question, I'm sure it's been discusse dbut
Did I miss what the accident was that caused Coop to no longer be a pilot? They showed a glimpse at the beginning during his dream but did they ever address that again?

She traveled for two years to see him.
She sends him off after seeing him for 5 minutes.
That's poor writing.
Again, Brand was alone, we all get that. But spending a few days with his daughter does not change Brand's situation whatsoever. Brand was going no where and given how slow time was moving for Brand, we were left with the impression she had "just arrived" so she didn't even have time to go crazy like damon did.
I won't touch Murph's family. They were straight out assholes.

Agreed, so will the cinematography. But none of that escapes that scene being awkward and a bit silly. His grand and great-grandkids barely smiled at him
Murph traveled 2 years/weeks? to see him (and lived 80+ without him). He traveled what 90 years? I think more than the 3 minutes on film together would have been appropriate or they could have eluded to him spending more time with her "off camera". It doesn't take away from the film as a whole though.
