Right, well needless to say that I hadn't heard about this 2022 Filipino movie titled "Leonor Will Never Die" from writer and director Martika Ramirez Escobar prior to actually sitting down to watch it.
But I will say that the synopsis for the movie definitely sounded interesting enough. And since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance.
The narrative in "Leonor Will Never Die" was just beyond my liking. The storyline proved a bit too strange and far out there for my taste and preference. And while I managed to sit through all 104 minutes that the movie ran for, then I was only mildly entertained. It is a storyline that definitely blurs the lines between reality and fiction.
What made the movie bearable to watch was the acting performances. There were some genuinely good performances from the cast. And it was a cast that I wasn't at all familiar with.
"Leonor Will Never Die" is somewhat of a niche movie, no doubt about it. I didn't overly enjoy it, but I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as this.
My rating of "Leonor Will Never Die" lands on a four out of ten stars.
