The second screening of “Triangle of Sadness” during the festival was yesterday, Nov. 21 at Power Plant Cinema in Rockwell, Makati City.
Gracing the premiere is the film’s breakout star, Filipino actress Dolly de Leon, whose noteworthy performance has garnered praise from film critics. De Leon, who plays cleaning lady Abigail, was named by Variety as among the top three contenders for the best-supporting actress category in the Oscars.
“Her committed turn not only makes her the defining supporting performance of the year thus far but also, if enough Academy members make a note to focus on quality (and not simply name recognition as they can often do), she could be the frontrunner walking into awards season,” Variety’s award senior editor Clayton Davis commented on De Leon’s performance.
The 2022 Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or-winning film by director Ruben í–stlund was also screened at the Toronto Film Festival and New York Film Festival to much acclaim.
