Be as ugly as high hell in the movie? Especially at the start in her younger days... .*shudder*

Look... If I can tell you, I will... But I can't, so I wont... OK???

The movie is suppose to be about Frida Kahlo, not about Salma Hayek, so that's why she rocks a unibrow and whatnot. That's pretty obvious.

You make a good point though. Salma Hayek is a beautiful woman, that's what she's known for. So having her play Frida Kahlo whose qualities are completely different, with a bunch of hoaky dialog, plus a couple gratuitous boobs scenes (which were awesome, by the way) ... it all ads up to something that seems more like a made-for-cable movie rather than a great biopic about a great artist.

Right? He obviously missed the story.. it's fascinating characters, the magic,the artistry, and creative genius of its creators and artists whom this was about.
Selma was wonderful as Frida!

OMG, the first 2 of you writing are a reflection of why people think Americans are stupid. You must be because only an American wouldn't understand the film is about Frida Kahlo. Know who that is? Google her.
And "Boobs?" Really? And it's "Hokey"
Use Spellcheck if you must and research a subject before you comment on the actress playing a role you fool.

Goodbye.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
