As authentic and dynamic as this film begins, unfolds, and ultimately culminates in a spectacular finale, its original mission as a biography of the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) pleasantly fades into the background, allowing its powerful, gripping, and moving narrative to take center stage—even as it freely eschews historically precise documentation. This extraordinary, remarkable quality of Julie Taymor’s “Frida” within the lavish biopic landscape gives rise to a truly enchanting, incredibly dense, and lovingly crafted drama, in which lead actress Salma Hayek, with her explosive performance, shatters more than just the corset of conventional acting.
