Frida

About This Movie

Frida is quite an interesting piece, blending drama with thriller elements set against the backdrop of the 2017 Mexico earthquake. The film starts with a palpable sense of urgency as the nation focuses on the rescue of the young girl, Frida. But then, it veers off into unexpected territories, which keeps you guessing. The atmosphere is tense, with a raw and gritty realism that really captures the chaos of the disaster. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective at times, which contrasts sharply with the urgency of the situation. The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who carries a weight that feels authentic. What stands out here is the emotional depth interwoven with the suspense, making it quite distinctive in a genre often filled with predictable tropes.
