DALILAND starts out looking pretty dreadful to be honest. Kingsley's large nose is certainly off-putting though does play the part well. But it just looks like a cheap and tacky low budget biopic. Things do, however, pick up in the second half of the film. The main actor playing James Linton is well cast, as is actor playing Gala in all her horrible glory.
Ultimately what really should be a 3 hour film is crammed into far less screen time. As much as Dali squandered his gifts and shielded his neuroses by turning himself into an artworld clown, he still was a a major celebrity of the C20th and I still await a definitive film that tells his story, warts and all.
