This is an EXTREMELY slow drama, with long scenes without any dialog - and it's a great example of how to do it right.Great locations, great cinematography, great atmosphere. Everyone in the cast (including the kids) is great in his role, but Eva Green is just excellent.With very few words and very long static scenes, this movie manages to have such an amazing emotional power. It hit quite a few of my nerves and it was an emotional journey for me.This is an EXTREMELY slow drama, with long scenes without any dialog - and it's a great example of how to do it right.Great locations, great cinematography, great atmosphere.

This movie delivers everything I seek in cinema: Entrancing cinematography, engaging direction, stirring of emotions and challenging themes. It's beautiful, intense and had me engrossed throughout. The cold, stark and stunning set locations are as much a part of the story telling as the dialogue is, serving to enrich the feelings and situations conveyed by the characters. It is a quiet film filled with visual beauty and soul. This is one of those rare movies that pulls you into another world, one which lingers and haunts you long after the movie has ended. I watched this film yesterday and am already wanting to revisit it.Certain scenes made me feel uneasy, but rightfully so, given the subject matter. The sensitive story-line is conveyed well by all involved, enabling the viewer to empathise with both of the main characters rather than feeling alienated from them, which was a possibility with such a story-line. I think it was a clever move to not linger upon or delve much into the complexities of the actual cloning process and instead focus on the lives and emotions of the characters before and after that event. The film would have benefited from further developing the love formed between the two main characters as children so as we can better appreciate the intensity of their feelings when they meet again as adults. The director has said that they spent the whole summer together as children, yet this is not evident in the film. Still, I don't believe the movie suffered from this lapse as the acting by Eva Green is strong enough to convey her character's intensity and give reason to the choices she made.The topic of human cloning is a controversial and complex one and in this day and age is not as much science-fiction as it is a genuine possibility in our future. A fictional, two hour film cannot hope to provide any real answer to any of the concerns posed by such a topic, but what this film manages to do is take on some emotional aspects of the topic and turn them into a haunting and thoughtful work of art. 9/10.

I don't know if I have spoilers t I refuse to edit my review for them!Apologies. This movie was indeed a shocking sci-fi masterpiece.Not due to the scenery(which is stunning and moody)or the effects(which are nonexistent)but because someone's wonderfully disturbed and twisted brain had the courage to go to it's darkest place and make no apology for it.The honesty and the rawness of loss are both potent themes and powerful weapons in this film just as sure as they are in life.Womb will test your moral compass to explosion and make you wonder what you are rooting for in the film.Do you want to see the heroine get the partner she lost and desperately craves recreated for her very own happy ending,or do you want the mother in her to rise up and cherish the piece of life she helped create in the way only a mother can?It is a very difficult decision and the sparsity of the dialog gives you time to sit with this inner turmoil and really examine where your own mind rests on the topic until you get sick at yourself for realizing you understand it both ways. Eva Green does a wonderful job at retaining the inner bubble you wish would pop.She makes the entire process look easy and logical while still being a smidgen more than completely demented.You almost believe she has a handle on her own sanity as Rebecca.This wonderful, self challenging film will make you wish electricity was never invented(much less the discovery of DNA mapping)if this is the direction science and human tendencies are headed.Thank you for being so fearless, brave and self confident to let your creativity drive this train headed for certain destruction!

The theme of the film is haunting, provocative, controversial and irresistible. I had to see it as soon as I read the synopsis. It started hauntigly enough, with a pregnant woman and a beautiful beach. I am not going to go into details as far as the plot is concerned but this was supposed to be a love story. A woman clones and gives birth to a man who she is supposed to be in love with but not out of love, out of guilt, she felt guilty he died. I hate it when you know the director meant for the viewer to feel a certain emotion at a certain time and I felt none of that. I didn't feel the connection between the characters. In the beginning they were friends, than something more but not lovers, than a mother and child and in the end...well, see for yourself if you want to feel as if you have just wasted a couple of hours of your life. Great idea, really poorly executed.
