One can imagine Taymor's glorious vision as a triumph of which Frida herself would approve.

...Taymor sprinkles her movie with glittering miniature theater pieces...
Entertainment Weekly
...Salma Hayek and director Julie Taymor have infused FRIDA with a visual style unique and inherent to the titular character's paintings and in the process created a masterful work of art of their own...

While Frida is no masterpiece, it's nevertheless worth the price of admission to see Hayek master her craft.

Graphic biopic of artist Frida Kahlo.

The plodding, glumly literal screenplay holds this otherwise expressive biopic back, but it's still a colourful and entertaining watch.

Product Description:
Brilliant colors that bring Frida Kahlo's Mexico City to vibrant life combine with a captivating performance by Salma Hayek to make director Julie Taymor's FRIDA a fascinating film. Starting and ending with Frida on her deathbed, the film spans the famous painter's life from her teenage years to her death at the young age of 47. From start to finish, Frida is portrayed as a relentlessly energized, self-righteous, headstrong, assertive woman. At the age of 18, Frida was horribly injured in a bus accident. Though she learned to walk again, she lived her life in physical agony, enduring multiple surgeries, and eventually needing a wheelchair. Yet her condition did not stop her from having an exciting, tumultuous life as the wife of famed artist and womanizer Diego Rivera, who mentored her in her own work and encouraged her passions. Frida had liberal views and socialist politics. She was bisexual and promiscuous. She drank, abused painkillers, sang and danced, and fearlessly poured her pain and beauty into her paintings. Taymor has created a lively and dramatically emotive film with FRIDA, capturing her endearing resiliency with color, music, and, of course, art.
