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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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