After makinh some significant indies about gay teen angst, Araki's point of departure is a below-mediocre romantic triangle picture that borrows heavily from Noel Coward, Hawks, and Cukor but without freshn insights or charm. Go to Full Review
D.M. Palmer Vague Visages Nov 9, 2023
There is a tension at play between what Araki had been and what he could become; Splendor has the feel of an attempt to assimilate into a new consciousness, one built on shifting sand. Go to Full Review
Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) Dec 9, 2021

2.5/4

Han S Feb 12, 2019 Interesting all the way through.
Hagrid S Apr 29, 2017 Araki is better when he's dark, but his lone "feel good" movie is still pretty damn good. Romance, Araki-style.
