A bravely earnest and gauzy bit of biography.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten

Beltran, for his part, makes a solidly believable Garcia Lorca. The problem is with the man with whom he's obsessed. In Pattinson's performance, we never see what Garcia Lorca sees in Dali.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

Little Ashes is stylish enough to beguile and bold enough to provoke, but it's not bright enough to illuminate.

Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Rotten

Even cinematographer Adam Suschitzky's richly textured and resonantly toned cityscapes and rural scenes can't make up for a flawed script and weak performances in what might have been a powerful historical drama.

Greg Quill, Toronto Star
Rotten

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.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
