Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
If the 20-odd seconds of blank screen squatting pointlessly amid the opening credits aren't enough warning that you're in for some seriously sluggish storytelling, then the adoption of a snail as one of the central motifs should drive the point home.

Rating: 2/5 --
Despite a fascinating concept, a gorgeous look and a silky score, 'Clone' is difficult to warm to.

Time Out
Rating: 2/5 --
Péter Szatmári's atmospheric photography of brooding, steely blue skies, bleak deserted beaches and soggy autumn woods is one of the chief virtues in this misbegotten enterprise.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
One of the more effectively eerie chamber dramas to come around so far this year, perhaps because its chosen "chamber" exists on an otherworldly plane.

Shonky science, flat fiction - this should never have left the lab.

The only thing which would make this film more awkward is watching it with your parents.

The film has a visual timelessness that adds to the other worldly mood

Product Description:
A woman is torn between two kinds of love in this thoughtful fusion of drama and science fiction from filmmaker Benedek Fliegauf. When she was nine years old, Rebecca met a boy named Tommy and found herself smitten with him; before long, her family moved away and she resigned herself to the notion that she'd never see him again. But at the age of 21, Rebecca (Eva Green) returns to the town where she lived as a girl, and to her surprise, she crosses paths with Tommy (Matt Smith) and finds they still have feelings for one another. The pair begin a mature and loving relationship, but Rebecca is shattered when he dies in a car wreck. However, she is offered a chance to give Tommy another shot at life -- she is implanted with genetic material that will allow her to give birth to a perfect clone of him. Nine months later, she finds herself raising a baby who looks like the man she loved, whom she names Thomas. However, as he grows to be a man, she finds herself struggling between her maternal love for her son and a more troubling attraction to a duplicate of the man who won her heart years before. WOMB received its North American premiere at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
