The film highlights the two sides of Frida Kahlo's spirit: the pioneering artist and the victim of a tormented relationship. The two faces of the artist are revealed through the common thread of Frida's own words in letters, diaries and private confessions.

Andrew Pulver

Guardian

It does draw together key themes in Kahlo's work: the drama of her physical pain, her sense of theatre, and her ability to transmute gruesome anatomical detail into symbolic architecture.

Rated: 3/5

G. Allen Johnson

San Francisco Chronicle

There is enough here, including some sumptuous location shooting in Mexico, that is fascinating and insightful to make the documentary worthwhile - especially if you're planning a trip to the de Young.

Rated: 2.5/4

New Zealand Herald

Viva La Vida's effusiveness proves effective in recounting the life of Kahlo but rarely digs beyond that.

Rated: 3/5

Go see Frida: Viva La Vida. There is a lot not to love about the film, but you would be a bloody fool to not love the life.

Rated: 4/5
