Update: ‘Daliland’ Drew Mixed Reviews Despite Praise for Kingsley
Updated July 2026. Mary Harron’s Salvador Dalí biopic premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022 before a limited U.S. theatrical release via Magnolia Pictures on June 9, 2023. Reviews landed in mixed territory — 44% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 59 Metacritic score — with critics generally agreeing the film played it safer than its flamboyant subject deserved. The one near-universal point of praise was Ben Kingsley‘s performance as the aging Dalí, with critics singling out his physical transformation and command of the artist’s theatrical mannerisms as the film’s strongest asset. Daliland has since become available for digital rental and streaming, appealing mainly to art-history and biopic fans.
