The movie deserves a 10! My neck hurts from sitting in that uncomfortable chair we have in the dining room but I couldn't feel any pain while watching "Frida". She was strong, she was a prey to conflicting emotions but she survived. and I wish for myself to be like her if something so horrible happens to me. how could this really happen to a person?"
