Review of Womb (2010) by David Ray G — 05 Dec 2010
This is the first movie I watched in the 51st Thessaloníki International Film Festival, and thankfully, it proved to be good because it's a fact that the first movie I watch in this festival every year is horrible.
Despite being rather slow and still, the time goes by very fast. The scenery and photography are stunning, and so is Eva Green's performance. Words can't describe how wonderful she was.
The theme and subject of the movie itself was rather...strange? No, not strange. Foreign, maybe. Detached. The characters are difficult to really sympathize with because only particular aspects of their nature are presented. And you always feel as though the movie is building up to something big, and despite the fact that the "big thing" arrives, the rest of the movie still feels like it only served as a building to that moment.
However, I think it's one of those movies that the more you think about it and the more it "matures" in you, the more you like it. At this moment in time though, I don't whole-heartedly love it.
