Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov

There's a genuine, sparky chemistry between the three (and later, a fourth), and Robertson, particularly, is luminous in her role.

The pleasing Splendor is surely more likely to appeal to a wider audience than any of Araki's previous films.

Film.com by Ernest Hardy

Beautifully shot, full of lush, vibrant colors and expertly wrought sets...a club-kid's frothy date flick.

Boston Globe by Jay Carr

Runs out of helium and lands pretty heavily after its airy beginning.

Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector

Instructive comedy, which is marvelously neutral toward a type of sexual and domestic relationship that's often exploited or overblown.

San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann

A menage a trois tale that aspires to the breezy screwball comedies of the 1930s -- but more often resembles a hip soap opera.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

Might as well be bad TV...Splendor is what happens when a director whose natural mode is subversion runs out of things to subvert.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

An embarrassing misfire...feels like a long, slow TV pilot about L.A. twentysomethings, only it lacks the polish and wit of your average sitcom.

San Francisco Examiner by Walter Addiego

Ineptly written and shot like a fashion mag, rings hollow throughout. It's a long, long way from "Jules and Jim."
