Tremulous eroticism a-go-go, but it's all completely lifeless.

Sensual but profoundly silly, Silk is ultimately little more than softcore porn with arthouse trappings, a moony, dopily romantic Red Shoe Diaries variation for the NPR set.

THE new Keira Knightley film is a visual delight. Unfortunately, the dialogue is far from delightful.

It's a perfect example of how awful direction and performances can ruin an adequate screenplay.

Though elegantly staged, Silk is badly written and indifferently cast.

It is worse than a straightforward bad film, it is a middling, stagnant film that could have been extraordinary.

Silk isn't just bad. It's utterly mad.

A flat story, lean characters and a miscast lead make this a poor facsimile of period epics like Farewell My Concubine.

François Girard's Silk is not merely painterly. It might as well be a painting, for all that it eschews storytelling, forcing the viewer to scan the lush imagery in search of clues to what, if anything, might be going on.
