Great Performances - Frida review by CP Customer
This is the real life story of Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), the determined and uniquely talented Mexican artist. It follows her life from a student through her marriage to Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), her crippling life long injury from a tram accident and her numerous bisexual affairs to her death.
I knew nothing about Frida Kahlo before I saw this film, so was unsure what to expect. If you enjoy biopics and strong performances, then don't miss it! It left me wanting to find out more about Frida Kahlo

A feast for the eyes - Frida review by AMG
An interesting film. There has been some criticism of the slightly Monty Pythonish animated sequences in this film but I liked them, loved the incorporation of Kahlo's art and the close resemblance of the actors to the originals. A good biopic and lovely to look at.

Frida - Frida review by HS
Quite a good film but not enough about her art. The unnecessary subtitles, in a Slavic language (?Czech) were distracting.
