Review of Evita

Evita (1996)
7/10
Disappointing in some ways, excellent in others
17 April 2001
I was very annoyed at how much they toned down Evita's personality from the musical (which I could sing end to end at the time the movie came out) -- most of her more cutting remarks were left out. For all I know, the movie might be truer to Eva Peron's life -- but that's not what I went to see.

On the other hand, the music is excellently done, and the cinematography is spectacular. Being able to actually see the locations I had imagined so often was wonderful.
