Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

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

Steven Rea

The Spanish actress Marina Gatell is exotic and engaging as a young writer drawn to Lorca and puzzled why he is not drawn to her in return. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Little Ashes succumbs to the dreaded Masterpiece Theater syndrome as a talky historical drama weighed down by self-importance. Read full review

Claudia Puig

If you'd like to know about the famously eccentric psyche of surrealist artist Salvador Dali, whom Pattinson plays, you're better off consulting written biographies. Little Ashes does nothing to illuminate the iconic Spanish artist. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

I can't imagine what Dali or Buñuel would have made of such bourgeois sentimentality. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

The story and performances (save for Matthew McNulty’s angry Luis Buñuel) are paint-by-numbers, with social upheaval and sexual adventurism as dramatic as an after-dinner mint. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

An exceedingly silly historical fantasy. Read full review

Don't listen to the critics. This film totally peaked my interest in Dal... Robert Patterson does quite well.
