A raw and magical journey into the life of iconic artist Frida Kahlo, told through her own words from diaries, letters, essays, and interviews. Vividly brought to life with lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable artwork.

Wonderful use of Frida’s own words from letters and journals to narrate her own story. Paired with the colorful animation of paintings, it’s a vivid celebration of her life and work. In some ways, I like that it’s almost entirely archival material included here, but I wouldn’t have minded having some talking heads/art historians to fill in some of the gaps and provide a broader context to her work and less focus on her relationship with her husband Diego. Good doc, nonetheless.
