Full Plot Details

In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university's social elite - Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their youthfully decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico - who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friend, Magdalena. In the face of his friends' preoccupations - and Federico's growing renown as a poet - Luis sets off for Paris in search of his own artistic success. Federico and Salvador spend the holiday in the sea-side town of Cadaques. Both the idyllic surroundings and the warmth of the Dali family sweep Federico off his feet. Salvador and Frederico draw closer, sharing their deepest beliefs, inspirations and secrets, convinced that they have found a kind of love not dreamed of by others. It is more that a meeting of the minds; it is a fusion of souls.

Movie Reviews

Common Sense Media - 8/10 by Renee SchonfeldSensual, mature tale of young artists in 1920s Spain.
Movie Dearest - 8/10 by Fr. Chris CarpenterFascinating...impressively directed, with an extraordinary cast.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertLittle Ashes is absorbing but not compelling. Most of its action is inward.
AV Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasThe film’s biggest problem, beyond the overheated melodrama and paper-thin period trappings, is that the trio's fictionalized dalliances diminish their real art.
Reeling Reviews - 8/10 by Laura Clifford...the translation of young Dalí into a homoerotic Vogue model places the actor, rather than the character, front and center.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Andrew L. UrbanA snapshot of an insight into the life of Salvador Dali, one of the most complex artists in history and it intensifies rather than satisfies our curiosity about him
Hollywood & Fine - 8/10 by Marshall FineThis bland tale of outrageous talents reduces them to two-dimensional stereotypes. If you hope to learn anything substantive about them as men or artists, look elsewhere.
E! Online - 7/10 by Matt StevensSoggy plotting and Pattinson's tepid turn keep Ashes from catching fire.
One Guy's Opinion - 6/10 by Frank SwietekA dry, dull retelling of a typical gay coming-of-age tale that's invigorated by neither the period backdrop nor the fact that the characters were real people.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 6/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)The movie, with its badly painted backdrops, its stiff acting and its complete lack of dramatic momentum, is embarrassing to watch.
