At the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, Becky G premiered her deeply personal documentary Rebbeca, offering fans an unfiltered glimpse into her life. The film explores her early rise to fame, the emotional toll of media scrutiny, family addiction battles, and her relationship with fiancé Sebastian Lletget.

Becky G’s Rebbeca made an emotional impact during its Tribeca premiere, not just as a music documentary but as a deeply human story of growth, reconciliation, and resilience. The film strips away the pop star persona to show a woman navigating fame, personal wounds, and the pressures of public scrutiny.
She spoke candidly at the post-screening Q&A about learning to embrace vulnerability: “This isn’t just my story — it’s my truth.” Her fans praised the documentary for its emotional honesty and praised her performance at United Palace as one of her most heartfelt yet.
Meanwhile, Victoria, the debut film by Sivaranjini J, represents a quiet revolution in Indian indie cinema. The protagonist, a Catholic beautician in small-town Kerala, plans to elope with her Hindu boyfriend while dragging around an unwanted sacrificial rooster. The film, both poetic and chaotic, subtly critiques gender roles and religious rigidity.
Sivaranjini revealed that the script was inspired by real stories from her hometown. Despite initial fears that the film would only see local release, its selection at Shanghai’s festival signals growing global appreciation for authentic regional narratives.
Both Rebbeca and Victoria highlight how the most specific, personal stories often resonate the loudest on global platforms — giving voice to women reclaiming control over their lives and legacies.
