Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A bravely earnest and gauzy bit of biography.

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.

rotten:
Little Ashes is stylish enough to beguile and bold enough to provoke, but it's not bright enough to illuminate.
– Joe Williams,

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.

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.
