Eva Olmerová welcomed the fall of the communist régime in 1989 and visited Václav Havel at Prague Castle, but her health was ruined. Drahomíra Vihanová made a short documentary film about her in 1991 – "Proměny přítelkyně Evy" ("Changes of Friend Eva"). It generated some harsh critical responses as "naturalistic" and "coarse". Olmerová wanted to take Vihanová to court, but the Czech director Ivan Vyskočil discouraged her.
