3/4

“Frida,” which, despite its busyness, sincerely embraces Kahlo the woman, as well as Kahlo the legend in the making.

3/4

Distinguishes itself by using the artist’s own words — largely taken from Kahlo’s illustrated diary — to tell her story.

It feels as if you're walking through a living, breathing art museum, where every frame is bursting with color, emotion, and the rich tapestry of Frida’s life.

Perhaps the best documentary I have ever seen on this remarkable artist. This is a must watch for any art lover, Friday lover or human in this planet.

It's a beautiful inspiring film. Unfortunately if you don't speak Spanish you will miss all the rich nuance in her words. The translation to English strips so much away. I don't understand how for such a wonderful project there wasn't more care placed on the captions translation. It's a major part.

I really loved this production...I was so moved by her strength, conviction and have always loved ...and identified with her work. A must see...if loved last and won at love; if you've ever felt undervalued; if you continue to fight forward no matter what. The animation, use of her journal entries-the beautiful and skillful storytelling of her life-this was just beautiful. I'm still weeping as I type this. Watch with your beloved. 🙏🏼
