Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
California Split has never been heralded as one of the key Altmans. But the few things it does - friendship and disappointment and the drab and desperate thrill of the gambler's life - it does superbly.
– Alan Scherstuhl,
Village Voice,
9 Dec 2014
fresh:
Sold as a comedy, the film scans more like American-century Dostoyevsky, with comp cocktails.
– Michael Atkinson,
Village Voice,
25 Mar 2008
fresh:
Robert Altman's masterful 1974 study of the psychology of the compulsive gambler.
– Don Druker,
Chicago Reader,
25 Mar 2008
rotten:
The film is technically and physically handsome, all the more so for being mostly location work, but lacks a cohesive and reinforced sense of story direction.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
25 Mar 2008
fresh:
Altman feels rather than thinks his way into a subject, with a special interest in how people relate to one another in moments of crisis.
