Film Influencer 2025 - Splitsville

Dakota Johnson has had some real bombs at the cinema of late. Is Splitsville another bomb?

Well the critics love it! The Rotten Tomatoes score is currently 85%!

But what is the deal with Splitsville? Two couples whose friendship erupts into conflict when the husband of the divorcing couple sleeps with the wife of the open marriage couple. 

Alongside Johnson, Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino, Nicholas Braun, David CastaƱeda, O-T Fagbenle, Charlie Gillespie, & Simon Webster star in this sort of modern day rom-com?

Look I am posting this at the end of week one's screenings and locally where I am, week two the film gets around three screenings a day. That is the same number of people who were in my session last night.

So it is hard seeing a comedy with an empty cinema and no one laughing. However it had it's funny moments. Nothing laugh out loud wild funny, but entertaining funny.

Reviews have been super good for this small indie film. Even the Handmaid's Tale royalty O-T Fagbenle only has the most small, random role.


So whats my opinion? Is it worth the price of admission this weekend? Maybe. It presented an interesting way of looking at modern marriage. Was it bat shit crazy? Absolutely. Is Dakota Johnson out of the woods with box office bombs? Maybe not.

I did enjoy this film, its not too long, it is a little fresh. I will pass this one ahead of new release Thursday, with a new Aussie family film, Kangaroo incoming! Looks cute. or cringe, depending who you ask.

3 Stars.
