Alternative Movie Reviews of Memoirs Of A Geisha
Critical opinions you won't see in the movie ads
Directed by Rob Marshall. Starring Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh.
“It’s not a movie, it’s a fashion show!”
- Sean Burns, Philadelphia Weekly
“Stripped down to its essentials, it often feels like ‘Desparate Housewives’ in a kimono.”
- Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News
“A more fitting title for ‘Memoirs Of A Geisha’ would be ‘Cliff Notes Of A Geisha.’”
- Dustin Putnam, Themovieboy
“Colleen Atwood’s costumes are the best a film adaptation of a popular book can buy. They rustle like nobody’s business. The film itself is equal parts silk and polyester.”
- Michale Phillips, Chicago Tribune
“This expensive piece of backlot pageantry turns vivid history into an ossified tchotchke.”
- Scott Tobias, The Onion
