   • 1986 February 1, Michael Bronski, “Mock Homage to Fassbinder's Life & Films”, in Gay Community News, volume 13, number 28, page 6:

     The best, and most impressive, thing about A Man Like Eva is the central performance of Eva Mattes — in alarmingly convincing male drag — as the Fassbinder character. With a scraggle of beard pasted on her face, a battered fedora on her head, and a swarm of contempt on her lips, Mattes — who has appeared in five Fassbinder films — could almost pass for the real thing.
