To be straight, I like some of Dali's work, but I'm not broadly a huge fan, nor do I presume he was without many faults and conceits. That said, it seems like this movie goes out of its way to pretty much exclusively depict negative aspects of Dali's existence. This might have been tolerable if it was done with some humor or intrigue, but it's all executed joylessly with a totally uninvested surface treatment.
The supporting cast is without much charisma or reason for interest. What characterization does exist is created with broad and boring strokes of writing. Ezra Miller as young Dali was a bit of stunt casting gone wrong -- especially given that his portions add very little to the story.
On the production side, there is a lot of misplaced licensed music, very questionable editing and some very amateurish seeming cinematography and color correction. The sum of all the parts is little more than a forgettable lost opportunity. I'd recommend watching one of the many interviews with Dali on Youtube instead.
