There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

With a plot about conceiving and cloning your dead beloved I expected this movie to possibly become all kinds of disturbing.Luckily, the script is dealt with the hands of a director and a cast who handled the script delicately and on a humane level.That's not to say that this movie is politically correct in any way or won't be disturbing to some, but events that many directors would play for shock-value are dealt with in a way that it feels natural and it deals with mainly grey areas, a complicated issue never have a easy solution after all.Despite being very slow I was never bored and it sustain my interest throughout, a lot to do with some excellent acting, especially Eva Green shines.It's also visually very pleasing for the eyes with some very good cinematography.

Tense, harrowing, subtle...and just a teeny bit boring. Aesthetically it's beautiful, the acting is great on all sides, although Matt Smith is occasionally just Matt Smith. This is a wonderful idea, and you can really see what they tried to do with it. The problem is that the meat of the movie is just not there. Endless silences do build tension, and reinforce the atmosphere of secrecy, but honestly after an hour you'll find yourself distracted. Much more could have been made of this spectacular idea, especially with this cast, if only the script were just a little bit more dense and satisfying. Ultimately I was interested, but bored.

When I saw the trailer of the movie i was kind of confused about it and wasn't sure if i should watch it or not.Being in love with Matt Smith for so long, i wanted to see him act out of his Doctor Who character and decided to take the risk. At first I had my doubts about it, but after half an hour they were completely disappeared!Eva's acting was absolutely touching and Matt was perfect for his roll! It was a very beautiful movie after all and really emotional, but not too much!And the ending, oh the ending, was amazing and heartbreaking at the same time!Found myself crying with a broken smile drawn in my face! Totally recommend it! Absolutely worth its time!

When first reading about this film, I thought to myself there is no way I shall be watching this; however, somehow I did end up watching it.Eva Green was absolutely incredible and gave true meaning to the character. The character's constant state of shock is beautifully performed and she manages to keep the character so real and uses naturalistic dexterity. As for Matt Smith, he brought a true sense of innocence to his character and really allowed himself to connect to the audience as a third-party character.Director, Benedek Fliegauf, did a superb job at keeping the realism of the piece. Often with these types of story lines, they lose meaning due to over acting and melodrama, however the director allowed everything to have a sense of stillness and time was a fantastic theme used throughout the story. The use of water that appeared a lot was very well crafted to represent the process of life to death; and this had good relation to the story itself.As I don't want to give away too much, I shall just say the final scene left me in tears. Whilst the concept is rather disturbing, as it contradicts morals and is extremely controversial, it was played out in such a way, it allows the viewer to actually connect with the characters and see the situation from their point of view. It's a great example of how the bad can be perceived as good and how viewers can emotionally connect with characters, who did seem ever so real.
