Rob is receiving rave reviews for his turn as a social-climbing scoundrel who seduces wealthy women in 1890s Paris in ‘Bel Ami’! Find out what the critics had to say!
Robert Pattinson’s new film Bel Ami opens in select cities June 8 and we’re excited to see the actor take off his shirt again and again!
The reviews for Bel Ami have been swarming in and most critics are absolutely loving Rob’s performance! And we couldn’t agree more!
Graham Young of Birmingham Mail says, “Robert Pattinson is proof some guys have all the luck!” Jane Crowther of Total Film adds, ”A good-looking yet curiously tame adaptation of a saucy classic that showcases Pattinson’s ambition if not his full abilities.”
Movie Fanatic couldn’t get enough of Rob who is “downright fierce in the film adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s novel Bel Ami.”
For Robert Levin of AM New York, “Pattinson is a major asset, carrying the production despite his limited range. The actor is a gifted, prolific on-screen brooder, and it’s fun to watch him, even if he’s essentially playing a sadder version of “Twilight” vampire Edward Cullen. He fits right into this material — a blistering critique of a man who can’t overcome his self-hatred.”
“Pattinson, it must be said, seems to be more comfortable here than in his previous attempt at a period piece, ‘Little Ashes,’ in which Salvador Dalí’s mustache wore the actor rather than vice versa.” Alonso Duralde of The Wrap added.

This movie was the best I have seen in 2012. Compelling and completely gripping, I felt that each time Robert came onto the screen I would not be able to concentrate due to his beauty, but his performance was so overwhelmingly excellent, so believable, that I was swept away to the 1890′s in Paris and into the lifes of George Duroy and his women. There was not one moment that Robert was not George, 3 dimensional and fully developed and I was surprised by the level of acting, the range of expressions and tangible emotions that RPattz displayed. This film is so underrated and so underexposed that it’s a shame more people will not go and check this out… for the great storyline and the great acting performances by the central cast.
