Sukowa makes a fine villain, one among many “using” Dali.

The cleverness of Kingsley’s performance is the twinkle in his eye that leaves you wondering whether Dalí has disappeared entirely up his own myth.

Mary Harron is too good a director to make a drab, conventional biopic, so it’s disappointing to report that with Dalíland, she’s done just that.

But the picture never escapes the box it’s been placed in or transcends a key, fundamental error in its conception.
