LeonorWillNeverDie Review: A Wild Ride That Is Gorgeous & Inventive
Leonor Will Never Die is a singular film experience. Writer-director Martika Ramirez Escobar has outdone herself in every way. The sheer amount of filmmaking efforts put forth is surreal in the best way. This is a movie that is doing everything and doing it well. Sheila Francisco is an absolute gem and the film lives and dies on her effortless lead performance. To say Leonor Will Never Die is making bold choices would be an understatement.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Leonor Reyes is a celebrated filmmaker, but well past her prime. Though she still gets recognized by strangers and is known in her community, it has been years since she's actually written a script. Unfortunately, Leonor is more concerned with rewatching her old movies than she is with paying her electric bill, and it is driving a wedge between her and her son Rudy . Unbeknownst to Rudy, his mother is back to writing at the behest of an old friend.
The comedy in Leonor Will Never Die is outrageous and all over the place and perfect. The film has a lot of ground to cover, including an entire subplot in both the hospital where Leonor is recovering and on the news where a man was impregnated by another man. In the same hospital, and out of nowhere, the film becomes a mockumentary for one scene and interviews everyone from doctors to ghosts.
The little flourishes of Leonor Will Never Die are simply divine. Throughout the course of the film's main storyline and the world of Leonor's creation, production assistants and photographers literally interrupt the plot. But all the bells and whistles don’t work without Escobar’s vision. Her direction is specific, and her future is bright. Leonor Will Never Die is steeped in homage but unlike any movie audiences have seen before.
