Just watched.
To be entirely honest, I don’t think I would’ve watched it if it wasn’t an Academy-Award winning film. I expected that this movie would be a lot darker than it actually was. If you’re familiar with any of Frida Kahlo’s paintings, you get a clear sense of the physical and emotional pain that she endured for most of her life.
Knowing her only through her artwork, I expected Frida Kahlo to be a woman who despised life, but Salma Hayak did a wonderful job in making her a truly colorful, strong, and eccentric personality. This movie will make you want to learn more about her.
