It's difficult to understand this contempt for English-spoken audiences. Is it supposed that they are unable to read subtitles? Everybody speaks English with a hispanic accent here, even in Mexican workers' bars.
Salma Hayek is a talented actress, but this is not her best part. There are to little complications here, which is much due to the script. Frida is mostly the living loving soft-hearted girl, who gets into two accidents or as she puts it out: the tram and the husband. We don't get to understand much of her art, although many paintings are shown. What was Frida trying to say? She has a miscarriage and paints that for example, but what does all the symbols in her paintings mean?
Alfred Molina is all right as her always cheating husband. Edward Norton rather lousy as the young Rockefeller. Antonio Banderas is seen in a smaller part. This picture might be regarded as an intellectual mainstream film, but it is definitely more mainstream than intellectual. And please, speak Spanish while in Mexico!
