The veteran Filipina actor finally gets the spotlight with her Ruben Östlund film, and now audiences are cheering for her.
Challenges can reveal who people really are. That’s as true of Abigail, the breakout character of Ruben Östlund’s first English-language film, “Abigail is what Filipinos call an “OFW”: an overseas Filipino worker, someone who takes work abroad, usually menial, often to send money home. She is a “toilet manager” on the opulent cruise ship in the story’s middle chapter. Especially considering the film’s now-infamous seasickness sequence, that’s not the most delightful labor.
In the third act, the ship sinks and the social order is upended as Abigail proves quite resourceful on an island with the other survivors.“I don’t really see Abigail in Part 2 and Part 3 as two different people. I think she’s had that pent-up resentment for these people on that yacht from the start. She sees how they can’t even take care of themselves. Everyone’s been watching over them; they had no motivation to make their own cup of coffee,” De Leon says.
