Leonor Will Never Die Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Playful yet philosophical, Escobar's clever and touching feature sneaks up on you, revealing far deeper, more complex intentions than you'd suspect.
Film Threat
Ali Arkani
…engaging world-building, impressive visual style...
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
that doesn't mean Leonor's script is very good and despite Francisco's charm, the film is an exercise in tedium which devolves into a meaningless meta musical number as it completely runs out of gas.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
As "Leonor Will Never Die" parties to its close, Escobar reminds us that while life is unerringly finite, cinema is the complicated, messy, riotous love affair that never has to end.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Although its ambitions often exceed its reach, the meta-mad Filipino film Leonor Will Never Die bursts with imaginative impulses, scoring slightly more hits than misses.
RogerEbert.com
Carlos Aguilar
[An] endlessly imaginative delight.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This wild ride of a Filipino meta-comedy is audacious and heartfelt, but its thin premise lacks sufficient emotional depth to sustain itself at feature length.
The Film Stage
Soham Gadre
Leonor plays with interesting blends of reality and fiction, borrowing from Filipino action influences to create a potent concoction of how inspiration might strike a writer's creative impulses.
Screen Rant
Nadir Samara
To say Leonor Will Never Die is making bold choices would be an understatement. The film is gorgeous, and the script is easily one of the year's best.
TheWrap
Simon Abrams
The ending feels like a capitulation to the meta-limits of Escobar's story. Leonor says goodbye on her own terms, but it doesn't feel like a meaningful conclusion to her work or her life, just another rote tribute to the magic of the movies.
Slashfilm
Erin Brady
There is a lot to love about "Leonor Will Never Die," from its faithfulness to the action film aesthetic to its core message honoring those whose words bring movies to life.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Leonor Will Never Die is a scrappy low-budget meta-action romp which, despite its flaws, is highly entertaining.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Defiantly gray-haired and wrapped in shapeless floral frocks, [Franciso] makes Leonor a touchingly adamant heroine, one whose playfulness masks her need to mourn her lost child and vanished career.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
An amusing, inspired and campy genre-bending delight. Sheila Francisco gives a heartfelt and lively performance.
Next Best Picture
Will Mavity
Everything about "Leonor Will Never Die" is bursting with energy. The whole movie is a mess of sorts, but it is a glorious, chaotic mess. And because of that, it is difficult to watch it without a smile.
Film Inquiry
Kristy Strouse
It's a moving story, and that's what makes the moments of silly nostalgia feel sincere. A charming, love letter to cinema.
In Review Online
Matt Lynch
If Leonor Will Not Die isn't actually more than a sweetly thoughtful drama disguised as a lovingly recreated genre throwback, that's perfectly fine.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
Leonor Will Never Die establishes writer-director Martika Ramirez Escobar as an artist with a singular voice and bright future in halls of weird cinema.
Variety
Amy Nicholson
An affectionate sendup of cornball heroics. The punches whiff, the sound effects are clumsy, and the score by Alyana Cabral and Pan De Coco is deadpan hysterical. But Escobar is after something deeper than parody.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
A delightful surprise; it's inventive and original, with flourishes of magical realism.
