      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Evita sometimes strains to convince on a narrative level, but the soundtrack helps this fact-based musical achieve a measure of the epic grandeur to which it aspires.

      Everardo C Contando la vida de una de las figuras más importantes de la Argentina, el musical busca mostrar su vida desde todos los ángulos posibles para no hacerla mártir o heroína. Aunque puede que falle en eso último la energía de la música y las coreografías hace que esta película sea tan recomendable Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Vic S Totally underrated. A classic. Madonna is fantastic. Glad she won the Golden Globe for best actress. She didn't get the recognition she deserved. The movie is a gem. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Phil V A stunning epic. Some shots are just seconds long and it's clear a huge amount of time (and money) went into those shots. The orchestration is spine-tingling at times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Alec B Parker gives the film a sense of epic scope that's rare for a modern musical, complete with large sets and thousands of extras. With the exception of Madonna's lackluster performance and singing, this is probably the best adaption of the stage musical we are likely to get. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Cole T A bit slow due to lack of actual dialogue. But so much is said in just the songs and such in this movie that there almost isn't need for much dialogue! Madonna fans will love. So much passion and emotion just in the musical numbers. Along with an inspiring bittersweet storyline. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Blobbo X Blobbo no like interminable drag.

      Carol Buckland CNN.com All in all, Evita is worth your time and money. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly It's just a sluggish, contradictory mess, a drably "realistic" Latin-revolution music video driven by a soundtrack of mediocre '70s rock. Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jul 25, 2004 Full Review Patrick Horrigan Gay Community News (Boston) In the end, Madonna’s performance helps save Evita from being the irrelevancy it might have been and transforms it, instead, into something very much alive and strangely moving. Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Sarah Kerr The New York Review of Books After all the painstaking verisimilitude the movie neglects its characters. Evita the woman shrinks. It's the background we react to-especially the crowd, with its power to applaud or boo. Aug 16, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy No matter how great all the constituent elements were, [it couldn't] survive the kind of stiff, wholly artificial and forced performance that Madonna gives. Rated: 6/10 Apr 27, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
