I saw Little Ashes at Raindance. Pattinson exceeded my expectation and is very convincing as Dali and as the film progresses he grows into the Dali we think we know.Pattinson and Beltran both give very intense performances and you totally buy into the Dali/Lorca relationship. The actors had great chemistry with one another. The sexual aspects of the story are handled beautifully. The scene between Pattinson and Beltran in the moonlit waters is so incredibly beautiful and it probably ranks as the most gorgeous looking scene I've ever seen.

Robert Pattinson is a brilliant actor! He did an amazing job as Dali. Some people might think that this movie is weird but that's why it is so brilliant because that was how Dali really was. Dali was a very strange but brilliant artist and I think Robert got it right on, and if you disagree you must not know much about art, sorry but it's true.

Dali is a young man in 1922 and Rob morphs convincingly into the complex character; shy yet wanting to be heard. Could someone else have played the part better? I've seen "no-names" pull off very complex characters exquisitely well, and this role is a kicker no matter who plays it. It may not be best suited to Rob. I could see a Robert Downey type play this character. The casting of Rob… was it the best idea? Did they want a tall, lanky, angular faced young actor with name recognition? Maybe they should have gone more for character match for this role. Rob is great but my opinion maybe not the best casting choice.

Terrible actor, it s possible. But the question is not there. I'm french art historian and I'm waiting for this film, I hope it s not a "caricature" of this genius that I respect so much. He was not only a killer in painting, he was a fantastic theorist… and much more. Thus, I hope that this film gonna respect the artist. (Sorry for bad english)

hmmm, this movie looks and sounds very interesting. I want to see it. I agree that I don't really see Pattinson as the Dali type. But that is what acting is all about right? Becoming a character.

I'd say he's a great choice for Salvador Dali. He is abnormally talented himself and so he can show viewers his humble, yet talented side. I don't like his mustache though. Oh, and Depp not having this part instead? It's great news. Depp is muy macho and handsome and all, but the role of Salvador Dali is an intense role. Rob Pattinson could pull it off, but I doubt Johnny Depp could. He'll just make Salvador Dali look like an awkward comedian.

The film synopsis interested me, however, the casting of Pattinson as Dalí will keep me from seeing it on opening day. Depending on how well the film is received, I might not even see it at all.

To be fair, I watched the clip and I must say it is not very promising. Pattinson seems stiff and unnatural. What is up with that accent too?

Lame. Its a shame Depp couldnt have gotten the part. Pattinson looks like a skinny Mario Brother. Mamma mia!

I think he has potential. He's still relatively new to acting and I think if he chooses his projects wisely and continues to study the craft that he could be solid actor.

Dali was from Spain. I'm not sure what this guy's accent is all about, but I am looking forward to this movie much more than that Twilight thing.
