Leave your thoughts about Memoirs of a Geisha.
| Rolling StonePeter TraversAny doubts about three Chinese actresses speaking English with Japanese accents vanish in the face of their deeply felt performances and the world Marshall conjures with magical finesse. |
| Denver PostLisa Kennedy... good-looking but not quite memorable ... |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenAn epic romantic period piece with deeply felt performances, beautiful costumes and exquisitely framed sets, Geisha pretty much defines the phrase "Oscar contender." |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThough Spielberg once almost took the helm, the picture that we have here indicates that Marshall was the perfect man to bring Arthur Golden's amazing best seller to the screen. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleMarshall remarkably has established a challenging tone making the audience aware of the world the characters live in beneath the gloss. |
| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansSayuri's geisha training plays out in formulaic montages, like The Karate Kid in kimonos. And the cast is allowed to lapse into theatrics that would shame Lillian Gish. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack Garner[I]n terms of pure beauty, Memoirs of a Geisha is among the most gorgeous films ever created, a magnificent cherry blossom of a movie, evoking the lovely mysteries of geisha life. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomGeisha offers a colorful glimpse that is as alien to most Western audiences as the dark side of the moon. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryThe greatest achievement of author Golden and director Marshall is their delicate capturing of the viciousness of women among women. |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersThe screenplay was lacking, the characters not engaging, the story dragged on and no real insights on being a geisha. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
