Critics Consensus: Less nuanced than its source material, Memoirs of a Geisha may be a lavish production, but it still carries the simplistic air of a soap opera.

Reviews

Texas Triangle/TXT

Arnold Wayne Jones

When the initially muddled exposition finally begins to take shape and Geisha gets its blood flowing, things improve immeasurably.

Marshall has instead crafted a mildly smarmy, heavy-breathing fantasy about some super-hot babes knocking each other down to get to the man meat while ignoring the fact that they are essentially sex slaves.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

Mattie Lucas

Certainly is beautiful to look at, but it holds the audience at bay with one dainty, silk-shrouded arm.

Ziyi's fragile radiant presence lights up the screen, the standout scene being her public dance performance which marks her ascension into geishadom.

Memoirs of a Geisha hurts the heart and the brain with its crushing monotony, inert, sub-human dialogue and Marshall's calculated attempt to sell us another Hollywood fairytale of prostitution.
