Leonor Will Never Die (Ang
Pagbabalik ng Kwago) tells the story of Leonor Reyes who was once a major
player in the Filipino film industry after creating many successful action
films, now struggling to pay for her household bills. After reading an
advertisement looking for screenplays, she started tinkering with an unfinished
script about the journey of young and noble Ronwaldo, who was forced to avenge
his brother’s murder at the hand of thugs. As her imaginations provide a little
escape from reality, she goes all-in after going into an accident – a television
knocking her out, sending her into a coma, and transporting her inside the
incomplete movie. Now, Leonor can play out and live her wildest dreams
firsthand and discover the perfect ending to her story.
Fresh, original and relatively funny. A hilarious take on the Philippines action film genre. Director Martika is a promising filmmaker that makes sure that her voice will be heard in her film. Brilliantly written and properly executed. The film is a good balance of wit, art and imagination. The technical aspect of the film captures the pure appeal of the era from the 90's action film genre to present. The editing is smooth and the actors fairly gave justice to their role. Shines with its originality, Leonor will never die is easily the Best film of 2022.
My Verdict: 5/5
