    “Frida” Movie Review

    “Frida” Plot Summary

    A biography of artist Frida Kahlo, who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work. add synopsis

    Incredible eyebrow woman

    Throughout the entire film I was unable to avert my gaze from the bushy forehead of the amazing ‘woman with one eyebrow’ – and nowhere on the net can I find a photograph of Frida Kahlo with such an impressive hedgerow plastered across her face. Why it was felt necessary to portray her thus, is a mystery to me. It may seem trivial, but it really did detract from what is essentially an immense performance

    Hayek excels, and definitely makes the movie more palatable for mainstream audiences who may not be interested in the social and artistic merits of what is an important historical era. She is ably assisted by the talented Molina, and the beautiful sets and photography are a fitting tribute to the story of one quite amazing woman

    So even if you think art is bunkum and history is naff, I think you will enjoy this sad but uplifting tale of a beautiful, spirited and unforgettable woman. Surely a must-see for any cinema buff.

    OK I admit I enjoyed it!!

    Let’s just settle this before I start – this is a bad bad movie! You will be hard pressed to find such awful acting anywhere as Miss Nielsen, ‘veteran’ director Richard Fleischer stumbles blindly through a non-existant plot, and you will feel absolutely no sympathy for either the good guys or the bad – in other words you just won’t care!I would love to have hated this film – as a self-proclaimed ‘movie-buff’ this is the kind of film I should not even go near. But I’m loathed to admit…I enjoyed it! The two stars, amongst their awful acting, are actually quite engaging in a comedic way (intentional or not!). I began to relish the dialogue scenes just to see if a line could have been delivered with any more wood! The intentional comedy comes from a young prince (Ernie Reyes Jr) and his bodyguard (Paul Smith). Although I wished the prince to find the end of a sword as quickly as possible from his first scene, the interplay between these two characters was amusing, with some one-liners that could not have been more out of place in this film! The villainous queen (played by Sandahl Bergman) is unfortunately bland and forgettable. But one real treat for me was another completely out-of-place commodity – a great rousing score from maestro Ennio Morricone!This was Schwarzenegger’s return to his CONAN genre after hitting it big with THE TERMINATOR. It isn’t too surprising that this was the last ’swords and sorcery’ movie he did – but I promise you won’t hate it! You’ll want to!….but you won’t!
