I knew very little about Frida Kahlo going
into this movie, but I came out with a very clear understanding
about who she was, and the important events which helped to shape
her life.
It's a remarkable story about her fame,
mistakes, and downfall of being an artist and married to another
famous artist, and communist supporter.
It's a solid film about her short tragic
life and certainly deserving of being told.
No bars held, and pull no punches.

Salma Hayek should be very proud of herself;
not only did she get to do her dream project--the biography of
Frida Kahlo, but in the process she assembled the right people
to paint a masterpiece-- a masterpiece of acting, storytelling,
and art direction.
Frida
is a tragic story told with such love, that only its beauty shines
through.
Fresh, interesting and very adult. It is
an extraordinary film. Thank you Salma. |
This new film is about, perhaps, Mexico's
greatest woman painter.
The story has been a long time coming to
the big screen--about 20 years. Frida Kahlo became famous in
the U.S. after her death at age 47, in 1954.
The movie paints a true picture of the
artist. The central fact of her life that prompted her to become
a painter was a trolley accident that became the subject of all
her work. |
