The heartfelt monologue delivered by Ferrera in the film resonated with audiences and was particularly special as she experienced the first reactions with her daughter seated in her lap.

A Special Premiere Experience

The warmth and excitement typical of a premiere event were present, but there was something extraordinarily touching for Ferrera when her monologue about women's life contradictions received an enthusiastic response from the crowd. She had anticipated her daughter might sleep through the event, but to her surprise and delight, her little one was fully engaged.

The actress shared that this recognition feels like the realization of a childhood dream.
