Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Arquette’s film ‘Gonzo Girl’ has been officially selected for the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. The film’s co-producer, Oscar O’Reilly, shared the news on Instagram, expressing his excitement about the recognition.
“Chuffed that @gonzogirlfilm has been selected for @tribecafilmfestival,” he wrote in his Instagram post, including a link to the festival’s official page for the film. The image accompanying the post shows the film’s official selection graphic from the Tribeca Film Festival.
Arquette has also mentioned her excitement about the film’s selection. In an earlier Instagram post, she expressed gratitude to the festival, writing: “Thank you @Tribeca for inviting our Film GONZO GIRL to the festival!” She also tagged several cast members in that announcement, including Willem Dafoe, Camila Morrone, Ray Nicholson, Leila George, Elizabeth Lail, and her daughter Zoe Bleu Arquette.
‘Gonzo Girl’ marks a significant milestone for Arquette as it represents her feature directorial debut. While she has previously directed for television, this project showcases her expanding creative ventures beyond acting.
The film features an impressive ensemble cast. Willem Dafoe, known for his versatile performances across decades of cinema, takes on a leading role. Camila Morrone, who has gained recognition for her work in films like ‘Mickey and the Bear,’ also stars in the production.
Ray Nicholson, son of legendary actor Jack Nicholson, appears in the film alongside Leila George and Elizabeth Lail. Adding a personal touch to the project, Arquette’s daughter Zoe Bleu Arquette is also part of the cast, making this a family affair of sorts.
Being selected for the Tribeca Film Festival represents a significant achievement for any filmmaker. Founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2002, the festival has grown to become one of the most prestigious film events in the United States. It showcases a diverse selection of films, documentaries, and emerging media projects each year.
The 2025 edition of the festival continues this tradition of celebrating innovative storytelling and highlighting both established and emerging voices in cinema. Arquette’s film will be screened alongside other notable selections, positioning it within a curated showcase of contemporary filmmaking.
Patricia Arquette has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most respected performers over a career spanning several decades. Born into the Arquette acting family, she has built her own distinctive legacy through challenging and diverse roles.
Her portrayal of Olivia Evans in Richard Linklater’s ‘Boyhood’ earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2015. She has also received critical acclaim for her television work, winning Emmy Awards for her performances in ‘Medium,’ ‘Escape at Dannemora,’ and ‘The Act.’
More recently, Arquette has been gaining attention for her role as Harmony Cobel in the Apple TV+ series ‘Severance.’ In fact, she referenced this character in a recent Instagram post, writing, “This is how I treat my friends. #Cobel #ColdAsIce #ToughLuck #severance,” showing her engagement with fans of the critically acclaimed series.
Beyond her work in entertainment, Arquette is known for her advocacy on various social issues. She has been particularly vocal about gender equality and has used her platform to speak out on behalf of transgender rights, paying tribute to her late sister Alexis Arquette, who was a transgender actress and activist.
In her personal life, Arquette remains active and engaged with her community. She recently shared images from a ceramic art show by her friend Jody Baral, whom she has known for 37 years, demonstrating her support for fellow artists across different mediums.
As ‘Gonzo Girl’ prepares for its premiere at Tribeca, the film represents yet another dimension of Arquette’s evolving artistic expression, now as a director guiding a narrative from behind the camera.
