Leave your thoughts about Splendor.
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThere's a genuine, sparky chemistry between the three (and later, a fourth), and Robertson, particularly, is luminous in her role. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIt gradually loses wattage. Robertson, however, is a real sparkler. |
| L.A. WeeklyJohn PattersonIt's dirty and delightful, if a tad on the slight side. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe pleasing Splendor is surely more likely to appeal to a wider audience than any of Araki's previous films. |
| Film.comErnest HardyBeautifully shot, full of lush, vibrant colors and expertly wrought sets...a club-kid's frothy date flick. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardThere's nothing remotely bizarre about this boy meets girl meets boy tale. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorInstructive comedy, which is marvelously neutral toward a type of sexual and domestic relationship that's often exploited or overblown. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrRuns out of helium and lands pretty heavily after its airy beginning. |

| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxCharacteristically stylish and willfully outre, and uncharacteristically watchable. |
