Aurora Ribero

Aurora Ribero’s filmography actually packs more of a punch than people give it credit for. She sort of burst onto the scene with Susah Sinyal back in 2017, and honestly, people are still quoting lines from that one. It’s this comedy-drama about a rocky mother-daughter relationship, set in a spotty cellphone reception area—so, yeah, everyone who’s ever fought with their mom or tried to get a signal at a family resort can relate. Ribero played Kiara, this sharp-tongued, hilariously moody teen, and she basically stole every scene she was in. Fast forward a few years, and she’s in Like & Share (2022), which kind of flips the whole social media obsession thing on its head. The film takes a darker look at teenagers chasing viral fame, but it’s not just preachy “don’t trust the internet” stuff. Her character’s journey gets messy and raw, and you can really see how Aurora matured as an actress. There’s this one sequence where she spirals after an embarrassing video goes online, and, man, you can just feel the anxiety. And then there’s The Shadow Strays (2024)—a total change of pace. This one’s a supernatural thriller, and Aurora plays a student who stumbles into a world of spirits lurking behind the everyday. It’s got suspense, jump scares, and that eerie feeling you get when you’re home alone at night. Throughout, Ribero balances fear and curiosity like she’s been doing this forever. If you’re keeping tabs, her film choices keep getting bolder, and it’s pretty clear she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
