“Watched this at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFrida Kahlo is one of the most interesting painters as he background and history is pretty strange yet interesting to learn about. This documentary does an wonderful job on presenting the life of Frida with strong direction, good dialogue read from the excerpts of her diaries that lets us go into the mind of Frida, and strong visual presentations throughout. Filmmaker Carla Gutierrez presents a good insight of Frida Kahlo with interesting presentation choices, structures and documentary vibes throughout which I found to be purposeful and insightful.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have known about Frida when I was in art classes as a kid and I had seen the feature film about her but this documentary provided some new aspects and ideas about what made her special that I didnu0026#39;t know about. The narration felt poetic and the uses of sound designs and music are really compelling that helps to add the feel to the documentary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall really good.”
