What critics are saying about Splitsville

Those jokes are delivered at a rollicking pace, with unexpected and at times jolting zigs that land better than they should, owing largely to actors who imbue enough sensitivity to would-be stock characters. Splitsville begins, fittingly, with a rupture – a “termination event”, according to the first of six chapter headings – between Carey and Ashley in the car. A desperate attempt at intimacy turns into road head hell – a car careens off the road and, credit to cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra, it’s initially unclear if it’s their car, another car or this whole movie.

Splitsville review – open marriage comedy is a silly, scrappy and sex ...

This is a highly enjoyable work... it boasts that entertaining and eye-catching visual style that Covino had already employed in his debut film, confirming his talent for offering proposals of unquestionable cinematic value.Scattered as it often is, the film is bracingly funny, and Johnson’s feline grace keeps it grounded. In a multiplex landscape of sequels and superheroes, a messy, grown-up comedy about love and hypocrisy feels like a welcome tonic.
