Santa Evita

Wherever there's an Alterio's family member on screen it is worth watching the show. Besides, the rest of Argentinians do it well. Maybe the only drawback I've found is quite a lack ok likeness in settings and other stuff I haven't reckoned as hundred per cent reliable or perhaps a bit too much artificial.

Santa Evita contains all those elements that make a successful mini-series: an excellent cast, a strong and passionate story, great cinematography and direction, and a great soundtrack.

Natalia Oreiro, with a flawless performance, gives life to perhaps the best Evita Peron we have seen so far on television and cinema. The series presents a more humane and truer approach to the first lady of Argentina and it achieves its goal through the multifaceted interpretation of the protagonist, who manages to render precisely and without succumbing to imitation the changes in attitude, movements, and voice of Evita through time until the end of her life. From the rest of the performances, Ernesto Alterio stands out with a dark character interpreted as perfection.

Santa Evita is not a biography and should not be judged as such. It's an incredible, dark journey full of passion and tension that nevertheless deals with issues that are still connected with our society.

Alterio, Oreiro, the music, the reconstruccion of the period, the story E V E R Y T H I N G sooo good, I recomend it sincerely. For the ones that lived these tragic days it is like coming back for a while.

Far from being a masterpiece like other TV shows and movies produced in Argentina, Santa Evita is a nice fiction vaguely based on Eva Perón's very interesting live and the misadventures of her corpse after one of the many political turmoils in Argentina's history. The show is a great opportunity to know more about history of Argentina.

This story is not only enchanting, but it makes you wonder what is real and what is fiction. And the answer might surprise you.

Natalia's acting shines as she plays Evita from her years as a radio actress wannabe to her latest days.

The whole historical reconstruction is spotless and it leaves you unsettled but wanting more.
