Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Gutierrez gives us a Frida we can believe in. Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune “Frida,” which, despite its busyness, sincerely embraces Kahlo the woman, as well as Kahlo the legend in the making. Rated: 3/4 Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle Distinguishes itself by using the artist’s own words — largely taken from Kahlo’s illustrated diary — to tell her story. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2024 Full Review Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice An innovative documentary presenting the artist Frida Kahlo through her own words and self-portraits. Rated: 4/5 Jan 9, 2025 Full Review Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alex Valencia Q+ Magazine FRIDA is more than just a documentary; it's a celebration of identity, resilience, and the power of art to transcend boundaries. Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Frida (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jericho Tadeo MovieWeb Here, "bringing to life" Kahlo's work robs the art, at times, of the opportunity to stand on its own.

JOSE RICARDO T Excelente historia, me hizo entender cosas sobre nuestra Frida, crecimiento, pasión, intelecto, sufriendo, frustración etc. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Alex T Perhaps the best documentary I have ever seen on this remarkable artist. This is a must watch for any art lover, Friday lover or human in this planet. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Roxanne B It's a beautiful inspiring film. Unfortunately if you don't speak Spanish you will miss all the rich nuance in her words. The translation to English strips so much away. I don't understand how for such a wonderful project there wasn't more care placed on the captions translation. It's a major part. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review chip a Boring, tedious and poorly directed Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Leticia A I really loved this production...I was so moved by her strength, conviction and have always loved ...and identified with her work. A must see...if loved last and won at love; if you've ever felt undervalued; if you continue to fight forward no matter what. The animation, use of her journal entries-the beautiful and skillful storytelling of her life-this was just beautiful. I'm still weeping as I type this. Watch with your beloved. 🙏🏼 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and captivating film that tells Frida’s life story in her own words with creative use of her artwork in an animated format. I learned a lot that I haven’t seen in prior films. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
