What made the foreign media notice De Leon’s performance was the movie’s plot, which takes an unexpected turn in the second crucial part.
After ‘Triangle of Sadness, Dolly de Leon will do a new movie to be shot in the United Stetes.
A star is born in Dolly de Leon's nuanced performance as the yacht cruise toilet manager-turned-desert island survival leader in Ruben Östlund's social satire Triangle of Sadness, which opened the 10th QCinema International Film Festival on 17 November at Gateway Cineplex 10.

The film, which features an international cast including Woody Harrelson as the yacht's drunkard captain, won the Palme d'Or (highest prize) at the 76th Cannes Festival.
De Leon has figured in Variety's Awards Circuit section list of predictions for Best Supporting Actress at the 95th Academy Awards on 12 March 2023.
Speaking to the media shortly before Triangle of Sadness made its Philippine premiere at QCinema, De Leon said she's aware of the intense campaigning efforts to pitch for nominees at the Oscars, but nonetheless she's glad that Filipino artists have been getting noticed in world cinema these past several years.
After drawing prominent coverage in Variety, New York Times, The Guardian and dozens of other foreign publications, De Leon now has an international agent and a Filipino manager — privileges she didn't have in all the years she had toiled as a theater, TV and movie actor.
Yes, she said, a new movie is coming her way, to be shot in the United States.
