    historic bisexual women deserve biopics that don't entirely centralise on, and romanticize, their relationships with abusive men and also don't treat their relationships with women as a party trick footnoting their existence. this film radiates a fierce passion Frida's life…

    i wish the focus was on frida kahlo's paintings rather than her relationships, then this could have been much better but the editing was insanely amazing

    An exquisite and thoughtful unravelling of Frida Kahlo's life, even though it should maybe have focused a little more on her relationship with her actual art.

Sometimes we feel as if the film careens from one colorful event to another without respite, but sometimes it must have seemed to Frida Kahlo as if her life did, too.

As directed by Taymor, it's a competent and nicely designed biopic that for all of the director's attempts to link surrealist film imagery with Hayek's depiction of Kahlo somehow manages to be generally lackluster.

(Hayek's) performance is far from a disgrace, but it lacks gravitas and soul, a sense of passionate purpose, a hint of obsession. The best Hayek can do with her lovely face is cloud it with worry, but the face of Frida Kahlo demands anguish.
