Overview
- Lopez told Brett Goldstein's podcast that she and her father watched Ainda Estou Aqui and that the film “changed my life” during her 2024 separation from Ben Affleck, remarks first made public after the June 9 episode.
- She said the film “healed part of me that needed to be healed” and helped her grow and move forward from that period in her life.
- Actress Fernanda Torres called Lopez's praise "very, very moving" while in Sicily to receive a Taormina festival honor and said the reaction highlights Walter Salles's filmmaking.
- Ainda Estou Aqui dramatizes Eunice Paiva's struggle with her children after the disappearance and death of deputy Rubens Paiva under Brazil's 1964–1985 military dictatorship and won the 2025 Academy Award.
- The exchange underscores the film's cross-cultural emotional resonance, could broaden its international audience on streaming platforms, and frames a political history as a human family story.
