Stanley Kauffmann
Taymor's triumph is that her film, despite its distance from us in some ways, is pertinent and enthralling.
Andrew Sarris
Ms. Taymor gets magnificent performances from Ms. Hayek as Frida and Alfred Molina as the oversexed Diego Rivera.
Rene Rodriguez
If Frida doesn't tell us anything that we don't already know, it does dramatize Kahlo's life with a fiery, soulful beauty.
Susan Stark
Passionate, provocative, hilarious, tragic and just dizzyingly beautiful to behold.
Steven Rosen
[The screenplay's] flatness ultimately defeats a film that's always a treat to look at.
Robert Denerstein
At its best, this is grand-scale moviemaking for a larger-than-life figure, an artist who has been awarded mythic status in contemporary culture.

Art as Actor Kahlo's art itself plays almost as another character, revealing the story behind the obvious. The production design is genius & sumptuous. Not a weak member in the cast. Brilliant.
Awesome As a lover of her art and one who is fascinated by her life and struggles,I thought this movie was a close portrayal of her life.
Master piece. I love this movie.one of the best film of the year.
