Trailer - Robert Pattinson as Dali in 'Little Ashes'

This just in: The ladies love Robert Pattinson.And for those of you on Team Edward, you might be interested to see what the Twilight star looks like with a handlebar moustache. I mean, isn't that the obvious next step? You'll get your wish in Little Ashes, in which the palest heartthrob around plays a young Salvador Dali opposite Javier Beltran's Francisco Garcia Lorca as the young artistes find their sexual and creative freedoms/passions.That's right, I said Robert Pattinson and "sexual" in the same paragraph. So enjoy that.

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.

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. He does have wonderful soulful eyes though.

Dali was a good role for Pattinson to grab prior to Twilight. Seems he took a page out of Johnny Depp's book. After the Harry Potter film, he avoided more teen films till Twilight - 3 yrs later.
Sticking with smaller films, oddball parts and playing against his pretty face was the smart move.
And Pattinson was lucky to have two of his original songs added to the Twilight soundtrack.
Unless his handlers lead him astray, i believe Rob could ride this Twilight gravy train into his 30s.
