I wouldn't normally recommend a movie Salma Hayek is in, however, this was a very good movie. I guess the reason the story line is so good is because it was real. Frida Kahlo was an amazing person and her life... Full review

Hayek deserves an oscar-nomination. Taymor's direction was innovative and unusual, Molina's portral of a egotisical womanizing bandit was outstanding. This movie is worth the money.... Full review

What makes Frida the movie so successful is the incredible life of the woman it was based on brought to life by a unique and beautiful visual style. Add to this some great performances and the thoughtful direction of Julie Taymor.... Full review

I don't know why... I came into watching this movie expecting something good but came out feeling empty. I think most scenes were extremely unnecessary, especially those dealing with sex (lesbians, Diego's "baller" attitude) and thought, "Gee, these artists sure have... Full review

Julie Taymor is a blazing intelligence who speaks in pumped-up poetry about the art of filmmaking.
Her theories about the visual arts tumble out as though the physical limitations of human speech can't possibly keep up with the steady stream of her ideas.

the real Frida proud.....This movie has no time for pity, just as Frida had no time for self-pity.....It's a dynamic familiar from the great documentary Crumb , in which Aline Kominsky-Crumb shrugged at the idea....Still, the film is as dynamic and passionate as its subject.....Frida responds that what's really important to her is loyalty..... ...

Frida gets severely injured in a bus crash, and this leaves her in a body cast for many months.
A portrait of noted artist Frida Kahlo (Hayek), the flick starts with Frida apparently near death and then flashes back to 1922 and early adulthood.

Had Frida contained more moments like this, it would forever stand as an excellent biopic, instead of an emotionally flat film, wallowing in mediocrity.
Remarkably resembling Kahlo in appearance, Hayek competently portrays Frida 's vulnerability and rage with a performance that will likely attract a few Academy™ votes, but the real standout performance comes from Molina, who plays Rivera with exuberance, huge Mexican machismo, humor, and great sensitivity.
