Frida

I have to say it will always be one of my favorite films. A colorful, beautifully scored, artistic, and emotional portrayal of an exciting, difficult, and interesting life. Julie Taymor's best.

Frida is a film to be enjoyed with all your senses. The acting, the directing, the music and the costumes are fabulous. A highly recommended viewing.

This was truly a remarkable movie for me. Loved it and each time I watch it I learn a little more about "human nature". Selma was magnificent in this movie. Based on a real life character and her ambitions.... "not" to give up and to be her own person. I loved this movie, but some may not approve of all the subject matter. Recommended for open-minded viewer.

This was a great movie that keep me interested througout it's entirety. I was however, disappointed that it didn't have the option for Spanish audio (French???), although it did have Spanish subtitles. viva la revolucion

Julie Taymor's visually stunning film on Frida is almost as beautiful as Kahlo's art, and Hayek's performance as the strong-willed artist is the best of her career. The soundtrack, and cinematography are glorious. I enjoyed it almost as much as an old bio-pic classic called LUST FOR LIFE ( with Kirk Douglas as Vincent Van Gogh ), and a bit more than POLLOCK ( with Ed Harris ). Alfred Molina as Mexico's greatest artist, Diego Rivera, is, as usual, superb.

I have to say, I admire Salma Hayek for what she has achieved in her life as an actress and enjoy her in the movies that I have seen her in, but was a bit dubious when I rented Frida about what I would find. I had seen her as the sexpot in several Robert Rodriguez movies and wondered whether she would be able to pull off a sympathetic and realistic portrayal, or whether it would just be 'Salma puts on the unibrow and paints'. Sorry, thinking aloud, and no disrepect to Frida, she was an amazing individual. Well, Salma truly pulls it off: her portrayal of Frida Kahlo is heartfelt, passionate and true without being overdramatic. She shows Frida as a strong person, despite her physical frailty, full of dignity, talent and passion for life. Her Frida was not afraid to be honest and vulnerable, but was also no saint. Alfred Molina is wonderful as the wayward Diego Riviera, a man as flawed as he was talented, whose tempestuous relationship with Frida was the inspiration for many of her cartha... Read more

Salma Hayek pushed for years to get this bio-pic made and I thank God she did. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time and I usually hate bio-pics. To see the way this movie was pulled off was amazing. The story of an artists rise to fame but more about the hardships she endured during her life. Compelling stuff and worth the time. Expand your mind and watch it. You will not be dissappointed.

A pretty good insight into the life of great Artist Frida Kahlo. Here's the plot and gist of it: Some spoilers ahead. Frida Kahlo is a unique and talented artist with a crazy life. She gets into a gruesome bus accident, has to have painful surgery, marries a famous man, finds out her husband is cheating on her with many women, goes to New York, feels lonely, has affairs of her own, goes to France, falls in love with Leon Trotsky, Communist affair starts, and I won't tell you the rest, but it's very tragic. It will probably make you cry.

Pretty well done movie about the life of Painter Frida Kahlo. Salma Hayek did a fine acting job. Follows her life from about 1922 to when she died in the 50s. She had some real tragedy in her life when she was in a horrble accident which caused permanent pain and surgery through her life.She married painter Diego Rivera. pretty intesting biography on her.
