Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
You are unlikely to see a movie about incest made as sensitively and tastefully as "Womb.''
The eeriness is underscored by the subtly intricate sound design, and by Green's subtle performance. She deftly balances her desire for the lost Tommy with the maternal responsibility to shield her son.
It's a fascinating film to think about, but far too cool to touch.
