- 78Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovThere's a genuine, sparky chemistry between the three (and later, a fourth), and Robertson, particularly, is luminous in her role.
- 70Film.comErnest HardyFilm.comErnest HardyBeautifully shot, full of lush, vibrant colors and expertly wrought sets...a club-kid's frothy date flick.
- 70Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasLos Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe pleasing Splendor is surely more likely to appeal to a wider audience than any of Araki's previous films.
- 63Boston GlobeJay CarrBoston GlobeJay CarrRuns out of helium and lands pretty heavily after its airy beginning.
- 60Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorChicago ReaderLisa AlspectorInstructive comedy, which is marvelously neutral toward a type of sexual and domestic relationship that's often exploited or overblown.
- 50Film.comJohn HartlFilm.comJohn HartlCompared to such current television shows as ''Sex and the City" and ''Action," this menage-a-trois tale seems downright tame.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSan Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannA menage a trois tale that aspires to the breezy screwball comedies of the 1930s -- but more often resembles a hip soap opera.
- 40Village VoiceDennis LimVillage VoiceDennis LimMight as well be bad TV...Splendor is what happens when a director whose natural mode is subversion runs out of things to subvert.
- 25San Francisco ExaminerWalter AddiegoSan Francisco ExaminerWalter AddiegoIneptly written and shot like a fashion mag, rings hollow throughout. It's a long, long way from "Jules and Jim."
- 25New York PostJonathan ForemanNew York PostJonathan ForemanAn embarrassing misfire...feels like a long, slow TV pilot about L.A. twentysomethings, only it lacks the polish and wit of your average sitcom.
