The drawcard of Robert ''Twilight'' Pattinson as Dali is a mixed blessing for the filmmakers, given how ill-at-ease he is in the role. Javier Beltran, as Garcia Lorca, cast as the heroic centre of the film, cuts a more confident figure.September 16, 2009
limps along about as lifelessly as one of Dali's melting clocksMay 21, 2009
What's intended to be a daring look at repressed sexuality, three-ways and all, has the dramatic heft of a true-love comic book.August 18, 2009
It's not even worth it for Robert Pattinson, who is shown in the movie, nearly fully naked, with his privates tucked between his legs, but everything else showing.March 25, 2010
It feels as though Morrison and Goslett are trying too hard to emulate the work of their subjects.September 03, 2009
Beltran tries to give this flimsy nonsense some weight, but Brits McNulty and Pattinson's attempts at a Spanish accent are woeful.May 29, 2009
Beltran, for his part, makes a solidly believable Garcia Lorca. The problem is with the man with whom he's obsessed. In Pattinson's performance, we never see what Garcia Lorca sees in Dali.March 18, 2010

Better to seek out these artists' works firsthand than to settle for this tame rehash, pretty as it may be.May 28, 2009
Little Ashes is stylish enough to beguile and bold enough to provoke, but it's not bright enough to illuminate.June 26, 2009
A bravely earnest and gauzy bit of biography.May 22, 2009
Even cinematographer Adam Suschitzky's richly textured and resonantly toned cityscapes and rural scenes can't make up for a flawed script and weak performances in what might have been a powerful historical drama.
