The Blu-ray presentation of 'A Bigger Splash,' with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer at 1.85:1, impresses with its sharp detail, vivid and natural color palette, and deep black levels. While there are occasional soft shots and sometimes overly intense sunlit scenes, the overall viewing experience is notably organic and artifact-free.

Audio: 72

A Bigger Splash's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix immerses listeners with dynamic surround activity, well-prioritized dialogue, and vibrant rock soundtrack cues that punctuate the island setting, ensuring a natural and engaging auditory experience.

Extra: 33

The extras for 'A Bigger Splash' are notably short, offering eight brief character and thematic featurettes, a photo gallery with manual and auto advance, and the theatrical trailer in HD; while these provide some insight into the film’s elements, their brevity may leave viewers wanting more comprehensive content.

Movie: 65

"A Bigger Splash" immerses viewers in a twisted and visually stunning psychological thriller set against Pantelleria's Mediterranean backdrop. While bolstered by dynamic performances, particularly Ralph Fiennes' electric turn, some reviews critique the film's pacing and emotional distance. The Blu-ray release offers standard yet satisfactory packaging and presentation.
