    Little Ashes is absorbing but not compelling. Most of its action is inward.

    Little Ashes succumbs to the dreaded Masterpiece Theater syndrome as a talky historical drama weighed down by self-importance.

The actings were incredibly fascinating. Overall, it was a good, mind-blowing movie.… Expand
