can we really watch a movie last almost two hour just for it stunning cinematography and some glimpse of storytelling and or should it rather be the other way around . i think silk prove that it be often impossible to adequately translate a deep and emotionally charge book into a credible and enjoyable movie . personally and i just get terribly bore less than halfway through the movie . yes and it be visually compelling . and yes and there be some fine moment in the acting and especially from alfred molina . but a a whole this leave with quite a disappointing feeling in the viewer and the feeling that with all that money and resource and brilliant actor perhaps they could have come up with something a bit different . and a little less slow .
