Rebecca carries the clone (whom she also names Tommy) in her own womb, giving birth to the genetic replica of her former partner. The film then explores the terrifyingly uncomfortable reality of raising a child who looks exactly like the man you lost—and waiting for him to grow up so you can love him again.
Eva Green is no stranger to dark roles (Penny Dreadful, Casino Royale), but Womb is her most restrained and painful performance. She speaks volumes with her eyes. Watch how she looks at her son/lover as a teenager—the longing, the shame, the hope. It is uncomfortable acting of the highest order.
