  Makes you wonder where the line between genius and insanity lies.
  
  Does breaking social norms make you an artist? A genius, for that matter?
  
  Or is it the other way around?

  Terrible accents, terribly inaccurate
  
  Seems like it was written by a hoard of 14-year-old girls at a sleepover. Embarrassing all around. I didn't think you could mess up a story with Dali.

  Thought I'd watch this as i'm very interested in Dali and also thought that Pattinson would enhance my enjoyment.
  
  However, his accent ... read more »

  Robert Pattinson's acting is amazingly good in this film, but i don't like the story at all.

  Moving and artistic
  
  Really enjoyed this film about the relationship between Dali and Lorca. It was very sensitively portrayed and well-acted.
