Evita is very well done, Madonna is brilliant in it, shows her music at its best and her acting was excellent. She hasn't always been good at acting but this made her shine through. Jimmy Nail is great really looks the part. Antonio Bandaras is really good at playing the working class man in Argintina. The performance is great, I didn't know too much of the story but this opened my eyes and showed me some history in a fun way. Eva Peron was an amazing woman who fought her way to where she got. Its a heart rendering film with fun all the way through. I would recommend it to Madonna fans, and people who enjoy a good musical with all types of songs. This is an interesting and fun film, recommended to all people.

A little bit about the storyline would be helpful for those who aren't really sure of it. I like how you mention the acting though, it's unusual to see Antonio Banderas as working class
