Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: It's easy to identify the biggest attraction of Killing Me Softly: two fetching actors (Heather Graham, Joseph Fiennes) and lots of nudity--especially in the unrated version. It's harder to choose the bigger liability: the dialogue howlers (as Fiennes binds Graham in ropes, she says, 'Sometimes I feel like I don't know you') or the incredibly obvious solution to the big mystery. The story is an unofficial update of Hitchcock's Suspicion: a new wife wonders whether her unbelievably charismatic husband might be a murderer. The Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) turns out to be exactly the wrong director for this overheated slice of l'amour fou in London, but with the hopeless pairing of Graham and Fiennes as the passionate lovers, he didn't have much of a chance. A nicely romantic Patrick Doyle score is the only reason not to hit the Mute button and enjoy the visuals. --Robert Horton

Rating: - Killing Me Softly, DVD
This movie ranks at the top of one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot sounded interesting, but the lead actress was blank. She lacked character...it was embarrassing to watch her. Her lines were stupid...actually comical! The lead actor was quite believable; unfortuately,that was not enough to carry this movie!
Do not waste your money by purchasing this movie!

What's happens, when multi-awarded Chinese director Chen Kai Ge, alters his name to Chen Kaige, sheds his native land and sensibility that made him world renowned for his FAREWELL, MY CONCUBINE, and comes to Hollywood to make an English thriller starring American Heather Graham and English Joseph Fiennes and Natascha MeElhone in an R to unrated sexpoitative mystery entitled KILLING ME SOFTLY????.......a disaster, that's what!!!!!

Rating: - Killing me softly
I saw this movie again when i bought it, the movie is not just a love story, it is a story how we as women like excitement in our lives. I enjoyed the actors and the story line and the twist of the sister's character. Sometimes there is more to a person then what you see. This movie has it, you can't stop looking at it because you might miss something. I would recommend this movie to anyone that likes drama,
hot loves scenes and suspense.
Rating: - A review for hetero female viewers
This review is for other heterosexual females who find Joseph Fiennes wonderfully sexy. The story is silly, Heather Graham's acting and doe-eyed facial expressions are hysterical, unintentionally, and that orange sweater they made Joseph wear was tragic, but I will watch it twice just to see his scenes again. He's intense, passionate, sexy and showing a lot of skin. And in spite of a lame script and co-star, the man can act. I dont know what possessed him to sign on to this movie, but he gives it his ...
