Frida is a Salma Hayek's love letter to Frida Kahlo and Mexican art. Julie Taymor's direction seamlessly makes Frida's paintings come to life, sometimes literally. Understanding Kahlo's personal pain and struggle along with her political beliefs will make you fall in love with her art, and see it through a new lens. Kahlo is so richly complex, and navigates the misogyny of the time, physical disadvantages, and political strife with confidence and courage. This movie is for fans of film, art, politics, female empowerment, and love stories; and a wonderful chance to see a Mexican female lead a mesmerizing story..
