Members of the Mexican press were appalled at the liberties taken in portraying Kahlo's traumatic life. The film shows Frida as a kind of superwoman, a far cry from the real artist who was a cripple, moreover it was also shot in a palette of colours that were bright, shrill and overwhelming, serving up stereotypical images of Mexico aimed at "gringo" tourists (source: Screen Daily). But if Julie Taymor had directed the whole biopic as the last quarter of an hour, the artistic level would have lived up to her protagonist.

Fairly boring film about Frida Kahlo, the acting is decent but for non-fans its a test of patience.
