Leave your thoughts about Silk.
| New York PostKyle SmithAs sensuous as its title, Silk is an exquisitely felt love story that unfolds as delicately as a blooming flower. And as slowly. |
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinSensual 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 Globe and Mail (Toronto)Stephen ColeThough elegantly staged, Silk is badly written and indifferently cast. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEverything is brought together at the end in a flash of revelation that is spectacularly underwhelming. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghCinematographer Alain Dostie's stunning, painterly cinematography is the best -- and perhaps only -- reason to endure this stunted epic. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteFailing to make a lick of rational sense, Silk grasps at poetic straws. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustThough the film aspires to the epic with pretensions of deeper philosophical meaning, it ultimately settles for being the "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" of historical romances. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliBy any standards, Silk is a bad movie: pretentious, stillborn, devoid of emotion. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsBy the end of Francois Gerard's plodding, uninvolving melodrama, his boredom will have nothing on yours. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenMr. Pitt is a reasonably photogenic specimen. But this actor, whose typical screen character is a broken, androgynous man-child, is disastrously miscast. |
