One of those really amazing films, that you don't really want to recommend to anyone.

This was the only Eva Green film I hadn’t seen yet and I had been avoiding it for so long because the plot is big yikes but I thought you know what? I’ll give it a chance.....[clown shoes squeaking]

UK Release: CLONE
So pondering is the pace it's almost sedentary and most of the performances are disappointing but, strangely, this doesn't lessen the fact that this film had a strange hold over me from start to finish.
It could be the interesting fictitious-taboo concerns of clone incest and the approaching-Oedipal issues (the 'father' is already dead/is him, natch) that kept my attention. It's slightly racier than Never Let Me Go for sure, which is similar in it's theme and it's look.
The premise, allied to the fact that Eva Green is seriously good (you feel every ounce of pain etched on her impressively expressive, albeit permanently dour, face) and the washed-out but extremely pretty pictures result in a unique experience that won't be to everybody's taste. Matt Smith is seriously disappointing though.

"Would you give birth to my clone?"
"I'm still trying to get rid of your ghost on Sims. You keep breaking everything."
"That a no?"

"Thank you, Rebecca."
Borderline mentally traumatising to watch at points, Womb is both tranquil and disturbing. Eva Green does a great job with minimal dialogue whilst Matt Smith sadly doesn't get much to do until the last 20 minutes. An intriguing yet incredibly slow-paced little drama, and remember, if it's making you uncomfortable...It means it's doing it's job...it's still freaking weird though.
