Robert Pattinson's New Movie Little Ashes Not Playing Well with Critics
Posted 05.07.09 by reelz
Robert Pattinson's efforts to expand his career beyond GQ covers and the Twilight franchise may be hitting a snag with the release of Little Ashes, a movie based on the life and loves of Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. Reviews are lukewarm at best, and apparently they've got nothing to do with Pattinson's nearly-full-frontal-nudity scene, which was widely panned.
"...it's a speculative, impressionistic portrait without a lot of dramatic force or psychological depth. But it's an elegantly designed film that fascinates as often as it frustrates."
-- Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
"...a typically bombastic lives-of-the-artists production made even more stilted by having all the actors (including the Spanish ones) speak accented English..."
-- Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
"...less a film than just a series of bad ideas piled on top of one another..."
-- Lauren Wissot, Slant Magazine
