5 Standouts From Tribeca Festival 2025
The 2025 Tribeca Festival, closing on Sunday, has brought together a dynamic mix of emerging voices and established talent, showcasing stories that inspired, challenged, and surprised. From gripping feature debuts to bold documentaries and genre-bending narratives, this year's lineup proved that the festival remains a vital platform for original storytelling. Among the dozens of noteworthy premieres, five titles stood out for their artistic vision, emotional impact, and potential to shape conversations long after the closing credits. Here are the standout selections that captured the spirit of this year's Tribeca Festival.
This winning debut feature by writer-director Lilian T. Mehrel—awarded last year's AT&T Untold Stories game-changing $1 million prize—is a funny, sexy story about, improbably, a mother-daughter trip. Perhaps it's not so unlikely considering Ayden Mayeri's impressive comedic performance, the ever-luminous Amira Casar as the extremely alluring mother, and the breathtakingly gorgeous backdrop of the Azores—not to mention José Condessa as their hunky tour guide.

Former Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson might not have any plans to play her MCU role again, but she thinks it "would be fun" to direct a Marvel movie
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Yelena (Florence Pugh) can whistle as hard as she likes, but Scarlett Johansson has made it clear that she has no plans on putting the iconic Black Widow wristbands back on and reprising her role in the MCU. After her character sacrificed herself to save the universe in Avengers: Endgame, her little sister has now taken over as the new ex-assassin wanting to go straight, and has been allowed to do so just recently by becoming one of the New Avengers in Thunderbolts. That doesn't mean that Johansson is ruling out returning to the MCU in a different capacity, though, with the former Avenger revealing she'd consider directing a future film in the franchise, instead. While attending Cannes with her recent directorial effort, Eleanor the Great, Johannson spoke about the possibility of popping back to the MCU with Deadline, after parting ways with it in 2021 with Black Widow, which gave her character a fond farewell. 'I think the movies that I like that are big action movies that also have the human connectivity piece," she explained. "Even producing Black Widow and being a part of the production of that, and the development of the story, and the story between Natasha and Yelena… [there is] I think, a way of doing it, a way of maintaining the integrity of the idea of human connection, family, disappointment, all of the things that were themes in [Eleanor the Great], and doing it in a giant way in a giant universe — there's ways of doing that… So, yeah, definitely, it could be, it would be fun.' Her new film still has ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (although it's hard for any film not to nowadays). Former Flag-Smasher Erin Kellyman stars alongside June Squibb in this heartfelt story of a remarkable friendship. Squibb plays the titular Eleanor, who moves to New York and befriends a 19-year-old student (Kellyman). The film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Jessica Hecht. While there's no release date just yet for a pivotal moment in the actor and now director's career, you can check out 50 other cool Scarlett Johansson moments here.

Heidi Klum Dances While Gardening in an Itty-Bitty Nude String Bikini
Heidi Klum shared a selfie video on Instagram of herself dancing as she watered the plants in her garden in a nude-colored string bikini. Klum's video is part of her campaign for Calzedonia. She has shared a number of shots of herself in Calzedonia bikinis in recent weeks along with an image of herself in nothing but Calzedonia Klum has been doing some rather unorthodox gardening this week. In a new Instagram post, the model and TV presenter filmed herself watering her plants while dancing in a nude string bikini. In the video, she gazed into the camera as she flung her blonde hair around to Tate McRae's "Sports Car" as her dog walked around in the background. She wore a smokey eye look, chunky gold earrings, and white sandals alongside her nude-colored bikini. "Did you know that I have hazel eyes? 🌰👁️," she wrote in the caption, referencing a lyric from the song, before tagging Calzedonia. Klum has posted a number of shots of herself in Calzedonia's swimwear and hoisery in recent months. In April, for instance, she shared a snap of herself going pantsless at the sound studio to show off her Calzedonia stockings. Last year, Klum opened up about her confidence in wearing skimpier outfits. 'I'm not shy about my femininity. I love dressing up where I have my cleavage showing, wearing miniskirts, high heels, gorgeous stockings—but that doesn't mean I want to go home with you,' the model said to The Times. One day before posting her latest bikini video, Klum shared a rare video of her son Johan, whom she shares with Seal, graduating from high school. "Cheering you on today and every day ❤️ CONGRATULATIONS JOHAN 🎓🥳🙏❤️ my heart is full of joy and pride ❤️❤️❤️❤️," Klum captioned the post. A few weeks earlier, she made a rare joint appearance with Henry, her other son with Seal, at the AMA awards. Read the original article on InStyle

'Can't Unsee It:' Why Are Drivers Flipping Their Ford Logos Around?
A Ford owner is going viral on TikTok after showing how the logo, flipped around, reads, 'Brat.' Why is this the latest online phenomenon? TikTok user Hailey LaRae (@haileylarae) posted a video of the tailgate of her Ford truck on Tuesday. The video shows her tailgate with the reversed logo to the tune of Charlie XCX's '365.' "To whoever said if you flip Ford's logo around it says brat, thank you. I cannot unsee it," the on-screen text reads. Why Does It Matter? In the caption, LaRae adds the following hashtags: "#ford #bratsummer #brat." This is clearly a reference to the 'Brat Summer' sparked by U.K. pop star Charlie XCX's 'Brat' album in 2024. The album's vibrant green cover art, accompanied by its unvarnished take on the concerns of the modern party girl, made it one of the biggest records (and memes) of the year. Commenters Were All In on the 'Bratmobile' In the comments, Ford UK weighed in, 'Bratmobile owners assemble.' "I like that the T is uppercase so it accentuates it," observed another user. In the true spirit of Brat, some users took the opportunity to settle personal scores with Ford and beyond. "Ford is very brat (derogatory)," wrote one user. "Ah, this explains why my ex drove a Ford," joked a second. TikTokers Aren't the Only Netizens Who Noticed The r/CharlieXCX community on Reddit addressed this a few weeks ago in a thread tagged 'Braturday.' "F150, when you're in the mirror you're just looking at me," wrote one user, invoking the lyrics of "360." A second user referenced an older Charli XCX material. 'VROOM VROOM,' they wrote. "I drive a Ford F150 and love Brat. And Charli. Uhmmm, I'm putting this on a Brat green tank top," wrote a third user. Someone else said, 'Alert the press.' Duly noted. A Little Look at the History of These Iconic Symbols The Ford logo of today debuted in 2003 and has since become one of the most recognizable symbols in the auto industry. It is based in part on Henry Ford's actual signature. Charli XCX explained in an Apple Music interview that she chose the minimalist cover color scheme as a budget-saving measure. It was also a way to reinforce a central tenet of the Brat ethos: to resist societal expectations. Motor1 reached out to LaRae via TikTok and to Ford via email for comment.
