Cathex What we have here is nothing short of film-making at its best. The subject line alone is incredibly brave and the numerous psychological and philosophical nuances are brought to the fore with masterful subtlety and skill.The film revolves around a woman who has lost her lover in a tragic accident. Driven by grief and guilt she decides to give birth to his clone, eventually leading to all kinds of complications.The film runs on so many levels. At its most superficial it's about incest sure, but more so it's about the difficulty of coping with grief and lost love objects, it's a figurative examination of the Freudian Oedipus Complex and also a look at identity, sacrifice and love. In this much the film is like a poem, richly metaphorical and deeply personal, able to be interpreted in many ways.The director's use of imagery, graphic matches and attendance to the script's subtext is simply excellent. Throughout the plot there are at least three times when the protagonists are thrown into a 'different planet' from a psychological perspective. It begins with a snail on a table, then with a child's imagination about his origins and again with the final epiphany. All these instances are subtle enough to work purely subconsciously, but the viewer will also enjoy discovering these revolutions of meaning visually.The only thing that I felt could have been done better was Matt Smith's characterisation of Thomas. Although I'm sure he wanted to portray a very emotional and child-like character somehow he comes off as having a learning difficulty, which is slightly disappointing. I felt he could have been far more intellectually present whilst retaining his emotional sensitivity without coming across as 'simple' if a different interpretation had been made. That said, he certainly does enough for us to empathise with the character and does manage to maintain integrity throughout. In the end this film is bold because of course it was never going to popular, just as Freud's theories on sexuality were never popular, and that earns everyone who made and produced this film a special kind of respect.

Tiona K Tiona Haven't watched movie by myself for a long time. Without any reviews or introductions, somehow chosen this movie out of many others from the one genre. It is beautiful, intense and disturbing all at the same time... wow, didn't expected anything like this. The first part of the movie, was my favorite, because it exactly shows the love we are capable of... The second part was so unexpected I still need to think about it, and analyze... Besides the plot, amazing composition, and tasteful execution. Loved the little details and frames that were so authentic. Eva is outstanding as always, other actors are pretty well casted as well.

Tornadolane This movie is trash and not even good trash. Plot: Girl loves boy, boy dies tragically early in life, girl decides to give birth to clone of boy, has a child that is clone of boy, raises boy as son and then lover. Tons of scenes of people staring into space. Basically another movie about a person who believes that his or her wants and needs are so much more important even over children.Take a pass because it's disgusting, boring and just plain horrible. Quiet scenes of people saying or doing very little doesn't always convey depth. Also, Eva Green is creepy and reminds me of a real life Samara from The Ring.

shannondunne-484-277474 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.
