Check Out Robert Pattinson's Dali in 'Little Ashes' Trailer

This film wouldnt be getting ANY attention if Rob Pattinson hadnt appeared in Twilight so its been worth him doign it just for that reason.

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.

The cinematographer on this film needs a pat on the back as does the composer and costume designer. The scene where Dali watches Lorca make love to Magdalena sounds titilating but actually is a heartbreaking moment and Pattinson is incredible.

The growing fascination between Lorca and Dali is beautfully played out and the script has obviously been crafted with care and attention. The director deserves much praise for handling this film with such tact and sensitivity and I hope it gets picked up for a decent cinema release.I wont spoil the end for people but its particularly tragic and Pattinson really shines in this key moment.

Actors play different roles so what so different about Pattinson playign different roles. You wouldnt be complaining if Depp played two roles in a row. Dont you like versatility. Check Pattinson out in the trailer for How To Be. Thats another film where he plays a completely different character. I kwow amazing .. an actor that can actually play completely different characters.

Saw the film at a screening and Pattinson and Beltran had wonderful chemistry. Both actors really got the essence of the characters. Pattinson's role was harder as its so easy to go over the top but he pulled off a wonderful performance. A very brave interpretation. The film looks visually stunning and I found the time flew by. A totally engrossing and absorbing film. Fangirls of Pattinson will have much to enjoy. He makes a great on screen drunk and has excellent comic timing but is also just as good in the more emotional moments. I was very impressed with him. Javier Beltran was also excellent and has the larger role of the two but I'm not sure if he has that little extra something to make him a successful film actor.

I believe I can hear the wailing of teenage girls.

I agree with the first poster who said this film would have zero PR and attention if Rob Pattinson hadnt appeared in Twilight. The producers should be very thankful. The film looks awesome. Pattinson seems very versatile.

From what I understand, Little Ashes wasn't even scheduled for any type of US release until the Twilight fans started petitioning for a right to see it here. So clearly the Twilight fans have no hangups about seeing Robert play a different role. The same can be said for his other indie film How to Be. I know I"m not the only one that actually became a Robert fan after seeing him play Daniel in The Bad Mother's Handbook, so seeing Robert play Dali won't leave most of us in shock. We like his quirky character choices.

Young fans of OPattinson wont be able to see it as its an R Rating. Maybe the producers should have toned it down to get PG13 but in any event it looks good.Looking forward to seeing it. Pattinson has done a good job of that Dali pop eyed stare. The costumes look gorgeous.

I love all Pattinson's roles. His performance as Toby Jugg in The Haunted Airman is particularly effective and I saw How To Be and he's amazing in that. People really have to start understanding that a lot of fans love Rob and dont give a stuff about Twilight. I'm way beyond teenage years,

I saw a few comments abotu the film on IMDB for instance:-
The writer (Phillipa, who seemed beyond lovely) did a really amazing job with Dali in the early part of the film, I thought. She makes him really personable, in spite of his eccentricities - there was never a doubt in my head that Lorca could and would be drawn to him, and Rob is always so endearing it's a really great combination. He brings a real likeability to Dali, which totally changed my perception of Dali when he moves to Paris and then comes back as a slightly more affected version of himself. And the way Rob plays that is great, because even when Dali's doing things beyond the usual and even being almost cruelly superior and self-involved, there's the occasional flicker of the other Dali, the real one, who has this inherent sadness, motivated by his fears. As if he's trying to get out of this persona he's created, but he's too scared.

I was really happy - as a Rob fan - with everything in the film. He gets some wonderful light moments (for me, that was when he really shone, because he has this inherent comic timing that you just can't learn and it's onscreen magic), and then some really intense scenes, where he really delivers emotionally too. I've seen reviews of HTB saying that it's amazing how he flips between the two with such speed and skill, and I agree.
