...wobbly direction. While the ballsy Titus knew well that it was visually arresting and never forgot, Frida oscillates nervously between an intense visual palette and boring displays of ho-hum period cinematography and horrendously contrived narrative set-ups that bore more than they evoke. Early in the film, the trolley crash that renders Kahlo periodically unable to walk is shot and edited with a shocking visceral quality and a brash artistic confidence.
