About
You’ll likely enjoy Frida if you want an arts-focused documentary that feels immersive and personal through her writings and animated artwork; Not for you if you dislike animated artwork, want a purely straightforward historical doc, or prefer The Kingmaker or The Art of the Steal.
Pros: her own words; vivid art animation; rich archival authenticity | Cons: animated paintings distract; uneven modernized touches; pacing feels predictable
