As you all know, Little Ashes will be officially released in the US on the 8th of May and reviews of the movie are starting to emerge.

Here’s a snippet from the  Entertainment Weekly review:

Little Ashes tells the tale, largely speculative, of Dali’s student romance with the budding leftist poet Federico Garcia Lorca (Javier Beltran), and the movie has the dubious distinction of using their moony homoerotic love affair didactically, as a way to trash Dali the artist. The relationship, which climaxes with a midnight swim that looks like an outtake from an 
 Esther Williams water ballet, is supposed to express the “real” Dali. Whereas the raging, antibourgeois, satirically mad surrealist he becomes is treated as a fraud — a cover-up 
 for his tender self. Even if you buy that (and I didn’t — I love Dali’s visionary vulgarity too much), Pattinson and Beltran are stuck with a rudderless script, and they make a soft, dull pair. I wish the film had more of Matthew McNulty’s firebrand performance 
 as Luis Buñuel, whose collaboration with Dali on the revolutionary short film Un Chien Andalou comes off here as an arty caprice that interrupted the cause of true love. I can’t imagine what Dali or Buñuel would have made of such bourgeois sentimentality. C–

C-??? Well, the only thing I agree about this article is how the reviewer wishes that there’s more of Matthew McNulty on this film.
