In its subtlety, richness and warmth it is entirely beguiling - complex and simple at the same time. It is also very moving. Jul 12, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

The film doesn't detour or disturb, doesn't serpentine or surprise, as great cinema can. It just puts everything on the thematic picnic plate and tells us to get eating. Jul 11, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A naturally beautiful and uninhibited work, more a filmed photo album of precious memories than a story with a beginning, middle or end. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Its depiction of Frida as being at the mercy of powerful emotions she cannot yet comprehend, and how childhood itself is often bittersweet, is universal and timeless. Mar 27, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
