*contains spoilers*I watched this film due to being a huge Doctor Who fan and subsequently a fan of Matt Smith as an actor.Also the concept was intriguing, a woman giving birth to a clone of her lover. I don't think however I was quite prepared for how messed up this film really was. Is that to say it wasn't good? that it wasn't entertaining? not at all. But you should not go into watching this film with a close mind. I went into this film..however open minded, extremely under prepared for the themes of incest. We witness a disturbing mother son relationship which given the circumstances of his birth is barely surprising.Despite what is undoubtedly a very weird story and some very uncomfortable scenes, this film is built on a great concept and for the most part executed beautifully.It was a particular highlight to see Matt Smith and Eva Green's combined performances which bring's the movie together. I could have easily rated this film an 8 or 9/10 if some of the uncomfortable scenes had been trimmed but taking all into account I'd give it a solid 7/10.

Eva Green's lover dies and she gives birth to his clone, guides him through childhood and into manly youthfulness as she herself grows older but not less caring. Trouble ensues when Matt Smith brings home a cute and vivacious girl friend, Hannah Murray, and the three of them live together in a ramshackle cottage on stilts on the shore of the North Sea under a cloudy sky and amid the sound of a cold wind moaning about the structure, once upon a time.The story is really simple. Green wants to reincarnate her lost lover so that they can be together again in every sense. (Mom doesn't approve.) But although Green waits patiently while the infant grows up, horny and desperate for love, the kid has no such notion. He has no idea his mother is also his lover, or once was -- or something. Anyway, the experiment fails, but not before Green and Smith have one last angry encounter that ends in a strenuous bout of physical sex. No nudity, though. Don't worry. Nobody's going to undress in THAT climate.The story moves slowly and it depends almost entirely on Eva Green's ability to deliver myriad complicated emotions without much dialog. She does fine. If she were a toy instead of an actress she'd be made of PlayDo. There is a scene between her and Murray. The camera lingers on the back of Green's long raven hair as she stare out to see, and Murray hesitantly asks questions from behind. Murray, happy in her circumstances, wonders aloud if she's screwing up the household somehow. And Green slowly turns to face her without answering but with her features frozen in an expression of bitter hatred -- and the expression isn't overplayed! Green was a very sexy and thoroughly glamorized Bond Girl in "Casino Royal" and an existentialist teen in Polanski's "The Dreamers." She's at least as good here as the brooding widow.In an ethnological sense, the movie would be interesting if only because it puts on display the central issue of incest, a universal taboo with exceptions that only prove the rule. The usual explanation (nobody knows for sure) is that the role conflict that followed marriage within the nuclear family would be devastating. Can you be an authoritarian mother and a bed mate at the same time? How do you do that -- get on top? And can Smith really make the leap from a crafty child who must test reality once in a while and get spanked for it, to an ithyphallic adult male? Or -- well, when does the spanking stop and the intercourse begin? Interesting but slow. Poor Eva Green, the reckless experimentalist. She winds up sobbing alone on her bed in a cold dark bungalow while a pitying wind makes the shingles sing a soft and voiceless lament.

This film is so weird and abnormal. I don't think I've ever seen a film that's as weird as this one. But, the film is also great! It really makes you think about the moral implications of cloning. For this reason, I also think that the film is awesome.Matt's acting is superb and completely convincing. You really feel for his character. Eva Green's performance is heartbreaking.The film made me laugh and cry. I have had long discussions about this film with many of my friends for weeks after seeing it. The film is definitely a talking point. It sparked rife debate between me and my friends which not many films can do so thank you.To be honest, I feel that there is only one word that can properly sum up my feelings about this film. This film is 100% abnosome.

Okay, so the reason I watched this movie was for Matt Smith, I originally saw him in Doctor Who and let me just say -This was a far cry from that role.Yes, I do love Matt Smith as an actor, I am not into his looks, but he - in my opinion - was perfectly suited for the role.He has great chemistry with Eva and the ending made me cry.I really recommend watching Womb, it is unique.Not much was said throughout the film, but it was so full of emotion, nothing HAD to be said. I'm going to give it a 9, again, really brilliant film from two amazing actors and I would love to see something along the lines of this movie again.
