It's far from great, has nothing remotely memorable about it and suffers from a certain derivativeness.

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.

Splendor, purportedly a a sex farce, has had all of its joy and energy surgically removed.

An agreeable enough watch--that is, until the film is over, when you realize that not once did you care for any of these characters.
