Ms. Taymor gets magnificent performances from Ms. Hayek as Frida and Alfred Molina as the oversexed Diego Rivera.
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Fresh
If Frida doesn't tell us anything that we don't already know, it does dramatize Kahlo's life with a fiery, soulful beauty.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
Passionate, provocative, hilarious, tragic and just dizzyingly beautiful to behold.
Susan Stark, Detroit News
Rotten
[The screenplay's] flatness ultimately defeats a film that's always a treat to look at.
Steven Rosen, Denver Post
