Rating: 1/5 -- Crashing bore of a movie. Full Review
Times (UK)
Nov 9, 2007
Rating: 2/5 -- Francois Girard's film proves a cross-cultural yawn, as if taking its cue from Pitt's blank-faced blandness and Keira Knightley's anaemic support. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Though elegantly staged, Silk is badly written and indifferently cast.

Rating: 1/5 -- Dralon is more like it. Full Review
Guardian
Nov 9, 2007
Rating: 2/5 -- Sluggish storytelling enlivens neither Pitt's infatuation with a local concubine nor the stubbornly feudal society it's set against. Worst of all, though, you just never give a toss. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- It is worse than a straightforward bad film, it is a middling, stagnant film that could have been extraordinary. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- THE new Keira Knightley film is a visual delight. Unfortunately, the dialogue is far from delightful. Full Review
