Maybe it's because I have seen one too many pictures of the historical woman pre-1950 (before her disease) and the differences in physical appearance are too apparent. She was instrumental in ensuring women's right to vote in Argentina, sanctioned in 1947, and tirelessly supported women's participation in politics.

Victor Laplace has been made up to look uncannily like Peron and has captured all his mannerisms. She met Colonel Juan Domingo Perón, an up-and-coming politician at the time Secretary of Labor, and married him. Other stages of her short life, childhood, artistic years, etc, are seen in flashbacks.

My only (minor) complaint lies with, surprisingly, Esther Goris.

Perón was a candidate in the 1946 elections at the head of his own party, and won by a landslide.

Perón's government was populist (not understood as a negative). Her role as a politically active first lady and along with her self representation as a submissive wife to Juan Domingo Peron in her autobiography, played perfectly into the appeal of the Peronist party.

Script writer José Pablo Feinmann does not try for a complete biography but enough is shown to give a good picture of Argentina under Peron. There was much progress in public health: the number of hospital beds was duplicated and endemic diseases like malaria were eradicated.

Although some view her as a power hungry woman who rose to fame for questionable reasons, her image as a political leader is also revered. New hospitals were built, some in remote regions until then deprived of medical care. This interpretation portrays an Eva Perón who liked to wear nice clothes and hats but had the will of a survivor.

Considering the tremendous amount of misinformation about the real woman on film: "Little Mother", "Evita Peron" (starring the mis-cast Faye Dunaway) and even the rock opera, this film is a blessing. By February 24, 1946, with a resounding majority, Perón ascends to the presidency, but it becomes evident that it is his captivating wife who captivates the masses.

Endearingly referred to as ‘Evita’ by her legions of followers, Eva establishes a vast charitable organization to alleviate the plight of the impoverished.

Draped in high fashion, she faces accusations from a bitter and cynical narrator, Che (Antonio Banderas), who claims she distracts the populace rather than genuinely helping them.
