I don't know if Rivera was the only source of her problems
I blame it on the unibrow and mustache. I think that if she had sacrificed her man hair she might be taken a little more seriously.

As far as the emotional thing goes. It depends really. One could look at a self-portrait of someone and realize that they were depressed or happy or any other emotion an art critic comes up with. I've never made an overly blatant attempt at conveying an emotion as Frida did.

Although I'm not a fan of Frida (or the caterpillar crawling above her eyes) I think that the movie might be interesting. Pollock was a good movie and I almost laugh every time I see his work. (By the way, my artistic taste is my artistic taste so don't get all mad at me for expressing my views.)
