What a life… what a woman.
So happy she managed to put it into art. As we are all… alone and afraid.
I just finished this on The Netflix. Top marks - fascinating life, well written and acted, stunning images, great music, and clever animations.
This script had to do a lot of heavy lifting to condense the better part of Frida Kahlo's life into only a two hour runtime, but it managed to get it done with only minor liberties from the actual history. Fabulous use of on-screen art and animation compete with an all star cast for which is more amazing. I honestly think this was Salma Hayek's best role to date.
