Review of Frida

Frida (2002)
9/10
Should've had an Oscar nomination for best picture
7 May 2018
What an incredibly beautiful and original film, which highlights Frida's life in a poignant yet fierce manner. The story never strays from her peculiar prospective nor her intense feelings, and it really translates well onto screen. I saw this film after the allegations against Harvey Weinstein came out, where we learned the price Salma Hayek and Julie Taymor had to pay for wanting to produce and direct a female led film in the early 2000's. To them I want to say thank you for your courage, being strong and paving the way for future female artists and filmmakers. Your film is beautiful and women deserve better #metoo
