*contains spoilers*
I watched this film due to being a huge Doctor Who fan and subsequently a fan of Matt Smith as an actor.
Also the concept was intriguing, a woman giving birth to a clone of her lover. I don't think however I was quite prepared for how messed up this film really was.
Is that to say it wasn't good? that it wasn't entertaining? not at all. But you should not go into watching this film with a close mind.
I went into this film..however open minded, extremely under prepared for the themes of incest. We witness a disturbing mother son relationship which given the circumstances of his birth is barely surprising.
Despite what is undoubtedly a very weird story and some very uncomfortable scenes, this film is built on a great concept and for the most part executed beautifully.
It was a particular highlight to see Matt Smith and Eva Green's combined performances which bring's the movie together.
I could have easily rated this film an 8 or 9/10 if some of the uncomfortable scenes had been trimmed but taking all into account I'd give it a solid 7/10.
