    Must See this movie

    by rpattzgirl

    One of the most beautifully acted, directed movies I've ever seen. I was so afraid I would only love this movie because of Robert Pattinson, but that is not the case. He is amazing as Salvador Dali. Funny, tortured and madly in love with someone that he can not physically be with. Javier Beltran, wow, I felt his raw emotion, love, pain, fear...with every breath.
    For those who think Rob Pattinson will never be more than Edward Cullen-shame on you. You must see this movie, as well as How To Be...you will change your minds.
    In Little Ashes, I cried, laughed, ached with their suffering, along with everyone else watching. What a beautiful movie...I will see it again & again.

    Little Ashes

    by zetr

    As low budget, foreign, art films go, I was pleasantly surprised by this film. The chemistry between Lorca and Dali grabbed my interest and held it throughout the film.While being heterosexual in their off screen lives, Beltran and Pattinson believably portrayed two young men who were willing to explore alternative sexual choices in 1920'-1930'sSpain. Each character demonstrated passion in their art. Lorca in his revolutionary writings and Dali in how he painted what he saw on canvas. Both men were ahead of their times. Lorca being executed by the green guard he defamed and Dali being repulsed by the Surrealists movement. Yes, I was impressed with the acting strengths of these two men, I think Pattinson should have improved his Spanish sounding English or not tried the Spanish accent at all. His (Pattinson's ) portrayal of the mentally-ill Dali was exceptional.
    Overall a good performance by all and well worth seeing.

    Outstanding Performance

    by DIxlu

    It was an amazing performance by the entire cast. Rob Pattison hit it out of the park with his outradges perfomance of Dali. I found the movie very poetic and emmotional. You could not but feel sorry for Dali and Lorca's tormented souls. The movie was more about Lorca then Dali to my opinion. It gave you a vague image of what Dali really was and where he came from. Lorca's character in the other hand had a much deeper explanation. You would need much more then two hours to represent all Dali did in his life since he lived until 1989 and Lorca died very young at the age of 38. I think all in all the actors did an amazing job and the film was worth the half hour drive since it was not playing any where near my home. Rob you kicked it out of the park and got the essense of Dali in the two hours. Bravo! kid.

    Little Ashes is absorbing but not compelling. Most of its action is inward.
