Split Wide Open Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.9 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are
The rather disgusting title didn’t promise much, but as one doesn’t often get to see an Indian film I had good hopes. But Split wide open was a big disappointment. The very unclear and chaotic story is about a wealthy paedophil, a yuppie water salesman and a presenter of a sexuality talk-show ‘split wide open’. The film chaotically jumps around between these and more subjects. The acting is really bad, soap opera like. The pace of the film is very slow, no bad thing in itself but for a modern big city story I want much more speed and drive to the story.
Avg. Users’ Rating, from Times Of India give 3.0 star out of 5 Star.
