Evita (1996) short review

Kendra May 7, 1996

1996 Evita

There are many good things about this movie, not the least of which is Antonio Banderas is easy on the eye and Madonna looks FABULOUS (hair, makeup, clothing, etc.) as Eva Peron.  Unfortunately the music and musical aspects are just too dated, and while they’ve updated the very 1970s/80s musical to include some more Latin sounds, it would have been much better as a biopic than as a musical. Still worth a watch just for the visuals.
