A young woman in Nova Scotia reassesses her relationship with her mother after the death of her father.

Sarah-Tai Black

Globe and Mail

Splinters is, for better or for worse, content to focus its sights within a small scope. And there's far too much guitar.

Rated: 2/4

National Post

A remarkably assured story of love, loss and family, set in rural Nova Scotia.

Rated: 3.5/5

Gay Essential

Splinters takes a melodramatic premise and brings it down to earth.

Rated: 3/5

Battleship Pretension

If you're the type of person given to eye-rolling, you'll probably do so here. And yet, despite some rough patches, the movie's pure charm often prevails.

Cinema Scope

Splinters has the makings of a bedroom farce, but it is actually played, um, straight.

The movie is best when he steps back and lets Banzhaf hold the screen.

I couldn't get past the first 20 minutes because of some annoying sound. I'm not sure if it was a bird in the house, the door opening and closing or Belle's cellphone but it totally overpowered everything else and was distracting and annoying.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
