"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Evita | 1997 | PG | - 1.4.1

Madonna stars as Argentinian and First Lady Eva Peron in this adaptation of the hit musical.

SEX/NUDITY 1 - Kissing, sexual innuendo.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Scuffles, explosions, fires, lots of scenes of rioting and lots of scenes of police beating rioters with clubs and kicks; in some of the riots we see bloody puddles, corpses, some blood on bodies and bloody stretchers. We see a man with lots of blood on his face and a man with bruises and bloody cuts. A few scenes of butchers with bloody aprons hanging bloody animal corpses; we see tables with puddles of blood and bloody animal parts on them. An earthquake with bodies in the wreckage and bodies being extracted (mainly children); there's some blood on the bodies (mainly on grasping hands, fingers and wrists).

LANGUAGE 1 - A couple of mild obscenities and an anatomical reference.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Politics, ambition, betraying a trust.

MESSAGE - No one is a saint; all we can do is our best.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
