August 5, 2009Set in Madrid and Paris at the height of the Dadaist and Surrealist movements, this movie describes a (likely fictional) student love affair between poet Federico Garcia Lorca and painter Salvador Dali. Surprisingly tame given the subject of forbidden love, and surprisingly conv...( read more)

An interesting look at the intricate...well...relationships between Salvador Dalí, Federico García Lorca, Luis Buñuel and Magdalena. I was going to say love triangle, but it can't really be called that when four people are involved, can it? Of course, officially Buñuel was...( read more) -
July 14, 2009I'm very satisfied with this movie, since I initially had no expectations out of it. I don't think it can be called a "biography" - it's rather a time line in the lives of two of Spain's greatest intellectuals.
It doesn't have much of a budget and it's highly likely it has flow...( read more) -
May 9, 2009It's okay....For the girls that are wanting to see this movie just for Robert Pattinson, well he was almost perfect. He was edgy, and funny, and crazy and stole every scene. I don't speak any Spanish, and there were times in the movie where I really struggled with understanding w...( read more)

November 22, 2009I absolutely loved this film. The most obvious thing to get me to see this film was of course Robert Pattinson. It was just so tragic, forbidden and sad that I just ate it up. It was a little Brokeback Mountain ish' which is why I of course loved it. Call me disturbed but I j...( read more)

November 13, 2009I haven't had the chance to see this movie yet, but the fact that Rob is comfortable enough with his fem and manly side to play a homosexual man.

November 11, 2009This film deserves more praise and I am taking it upon myself to help it get across. This peculiar yet fascinating film blew me away, even though I was not familiar with Salvador Dali upon viewing it. And, frankly, his art is not very interesting. But Pattinson's (far from flawle...( read more)

November 11, 2009The movie is made in collaboration with the spanish public broadcasting company, tve, so has that feeling of a tv movie, but I think would've been better if made by the likes of BBC.
The movie is centered on the romance between a very young Dali (Pattinson) and a very young Lo...( read more) -

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
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. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Better to seek out these artists' works firsthand than to settle for this tame rehash, pretty as it may be. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
The tangled three-way friendship of Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali and Federico GarciÂa Lorca could make for a fascinating movie. Instead, we have Little Ashes. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
As soon as Pattinson steps forth with Dali's famous up-twirled mustaches pasted to his face, the picture collapses. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The meandering film has moments of urgency, particularly when it focuses on Lorca, his growing politicization and the mystery surrounding his disappearance. But that arrives too late to redeem what ha... full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Little Ashes is absorbing but not compelling. Most of its action is inward. full review

February 27, 2009the moustach is part of what makes the character dali. i for one am a fan of rob but this is not why i want to see the movie. it looks to be a very interesting movie and it also shows us that robert has some depth even if some of his fans dont.

February 3, 2009Don't talk about his MUSTACHE!!! Talk about his ACTING!!! Doesn't this matter???
