  CW: sexual harassment, sexual assault

  first of all, please please read selma hayek's words about the making of this film here.

  some things that stood out to me:
  "He made me doubt if I was any good as an actress, but he never succeeded in making me think that the film was not worth making...He would let me finish the film if I agreed to do a sex scene with another woman. And he demanded full-frontal nudity."

  "My body began to shake uncontrollably, my breath was short and I began to cry and cry, unable to stop, as if I were throwing up tears...It was not because I would be naked with another woman. It was because I would be…

  Fuck you H****y W*******n.

  It was actually difficult to watch this knowing that HW personally instructed that extra sex scenes be added. The scenes are unnecessarily voyeuristic and don't add much, at all, to the film, other than to make it tonally confused. Not least because of the way these scenes are shot - the lighting is too perfect, the angle of Hayek's body too contorted. Even the shot of Kahlo (Hayek) as she lies unconcious and wounded is made to look sexy. It is very, very odd and male gaze-y. And, considering that this film was directed by a woman, it is strange to see so many gratuitous shots of Hayek's breasts. There are at least two shots where…

  I wish this had focused more on Frida as a person rather than her love interests but I liked how they incorporated her art into the editing and also the music was really atmospheric and pretty.

  thought this was gonna be a film about the feminist, bi-sexual, disabled, badass, artist Frida Kahlo but instead got a 2 hour long film about her relationship with fuckboy Diego. Salma Hayek is an amazing actress but no way in hell did they make her hairy enough????? u can't just add a unibrow and be like BOOM FRIDA KAHLO. where was the moustache where were the sideburns where was the leg hair, the arm hair, THE PUBIC HAIR CMON PEOPLE
  imo the stop animation/art to human crossover/surrealism should have stayed constant throughout the whole film rather than just a few scenes lasting a few seconds

  This Frida Kahlo biopic was HOT AF.

  🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  I'm not sure how it's possible that I never saw it before.

  It has everything.

  PASSION.

  ART.

  WOMAN DIRECTOR.

  No wonder Salma Hayek is married to a billionaire.

  Also, Alfred Molina: I'll always cherish him for playing Jenny's father in An Education, but his role as Diego Rivera is also amazing.

  Love Frida, hate men

  Review by Liam Hathaway ★★★

  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.
