**Synopsis**: Leonor Reyes was once a groundbreaking figure in the Filipino film industry during its ragtag action cinema glory days, but now she struggles with old age, mounting bills, and the untimely death of her son. While revisiting an unfinished script about a fearless protagonist trying to avenge his brother’s murder, Leonor is struck on the head by a falling television set and knocked into a coma. As she lies unconscious in the hospital, fantasy and reality begin to blur when Leonor finds herself awake inside her script, becoming the hero of her own story. An innovative blend of pulpy action homages, playful comedy, and touching family drama, Leonor Will Never Die is a wonderfully imaginative tribute to the art of filmmaking.
Honestly, this is like the first Filipino movie I’ve heard about that isn’t a really strange, cheaply made comedy. This looks pretty cool.
Saw it in a festival a few months ago, it’s definitely an interesting watch. Can’t say it fully landed with me, but it is easy to see how lovingly crafted the whole thing was. If the premise seems interesting to you, by all means give it a chance!
