Cannot fault this movie. Beautifully filmed and well acted by a great cast. Such an interesting story.

The colours in this movie are so richly filmed you can almost smell Mexico. Hayek and Mollina were superb, making the total result a movie that is hard to fault. So much to put into one movie and somehow they managed to pull it off.

Great movie. Frida Kahlo was a spirited and amazing individual with a colourful personality and an wild creativity that could not be curbed. Draw a big mono brow on, and embrace the joy and sadness of the film.

A very good biopics! Historically and biographically accurate, beautifully filmed, great cast and acting and the entire movie is very instructive...suitable for above 12 so it's a great movie to stimulate your youngsters into art and good movies!

Very cultural and entertaining. Loved the colours of Mexico and learning about the life and times of two great artists.

"Frida" is one of the best films I have had the pleasure of watching - Salma Hayeb acts the fiery, pain dogged, tequila swigging, bisexual, magnificent (if somewhat odd) painter with brilliance.
Frida's ambivalent love for her womanising husband is beautifully acted, as is the explosive finale to her struggle with life.
Very highly recommended to all who have an interest in art yet know little of this well regarded Mexican artist of the first half of the twentieth century.

I had trouble with this film as I had just read the book ("The Lacuna") by Barbara Kingsolver (The Tanglewood Bible), and I found the film wanting in explanation of events such as the assassination attempt on Trotsky and his subsequent murder, which the book had well framed. The film is a whole two hours without that, but it could have left out some of the personal history and put in some political explanation instead.

If you enjoy a untraditional love story, Mexican culture and art and great imagery, this is for you. The sound track is also wonderful. Don't miss it.

Stylish, well made and well acted. Some slight romantic liberties were taken with historical fact, but they add to the enjoyment so can be forgiven. A pity more was not made of Frida's association with Trotski.
Miranda Montgomery

Very original and beautiful visually. Great history lesson. Not for everyone. "Arty" and very long.

An interesting movie about an intriguing character. Full of colour and spirit and life it gives you an insight into the world of Frida Kahlo, renown Mexican painter. Two hours is never enough time to go through every major event in a person's life and there are some things in the movie that make a little more sense after coming across these facts later. A thoroughly enjoyable movie, not for the faint of heart, to spark debate and inspire.
