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.
