    Throughout, Mrs. Marcos comes across as an elitist, insulated against real life by wealth and power -- yet one who truly believes she is misunderstood and has done nothing wrong.

    Diaz has said that she hopes the film asks the right questions. But it seems, in this case, that the questions are leading - and rightly so. Marcos is given all the tape she needs to hang herself.

    Eminently successful at portraying the former first lady's flaws because it allows her to describe them herself.

    A balanced, evenhanded film about a subject who has always managed to provoke intemperate reactions.
