The film builds everything up just to smash it and laugh, like a kid playing with LEGO.

Variety by Amy Nicholson

Escobar is after something deeper than parody. She wants audiences to question how fictional strongmen have been idealized as real-world saviors.

The Playlist by Charles Barfield

In a film steeped in loss and grief, Leonor Will Never Die, as the title implies, is ultimately a beautiful, life-affirming celebration of the power of film and art to heal. Yes, even ‘80s action films.

Paste Magazine by Jacob Oller

As wacky as it all sounds (and there are certainly punchlines to appreciate), Escobar’s creation can be shockingly moving.
