Review of Womb

Womb (2010)
6/10
screenplay but no script
11 November 2012
This movie is a bit precious. It is extremely slow ands I feel it was a half hour stretched beyond necessity. Evan Green gives a still but interesting performance and even manges to remain the same age even though 20-25 years pass!! It seems like the writer managed the meticulous screenplay but forgot to write a script. The dialogue is very slight and rarely seems to move the story on very much. Matt Smith is better than his Dr Who schtick here but let's face it anything is better than that dross. So sparse dialogue , sparse characters and sparse locations make for a very sparse movie. That does not mean it is uninteresting - you have to watch to see what happens. I am actually about two thirds through and it is turning out much as one would expect - which is a disappointment. Those moviegoers expecting a scifi film are going to be very disappointed, it is more like a Swedish art movie in my opinion. definitely not the sort of film one would watch more than once.
