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!
