Liza Soberano got her first break in Hollywood
Positive reviews were given to actress Liza Soberano for her portrayal of her character Taffy in the movie Lisa Frankenstein.
Liza has officially penetrated Hollywood with her first movie in which she played a supporting role, the stepsister of the lead character Lisa, played by Kathryn Newton. The movie premiere in the Philippines happened on February 7.
Friends of Liza in the entertainment industry supported her, including her manager James Reid, and her boyfriend Enrique Gil.
Liza Soberano is ever grateful for this opportunity in her career. After the Hollywood premiere, she shared an appreciation post for her co-stars, director, and writer. One of the celebrities in the Philippines who showed love and support for her was Queen of Creative Collaborations Heart Evangelista.
The Kapuso star is proud that Liza Soberano is reaching her goals with her determination despite the backlash when she started wanting a change in her life and career.
Liza also received good words from movie critics. A fan of the actress, @AltheyuhMoves on X, shared screenshots of reviews from top American critics, such as Dylan Roth, Mick LaSalle, BJ Colangelo, and Taylor Gates.
One said that Liza deserves to receive offers to be the lead star in her next projects. She is also commended for her comedic timing and presenting a fresh approach to her character which is usually being stereotyped as a “mean stepsister.”
