RBD - Live In Hollywood primarily functions as a cultural celebration of Latin pop rather than a tool for social critique. The film excels in ethnic visibility, successfully bringing Latin rhythms and a non-white ensemble to a legendary Hollywood stage. However, it lacks depth in characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity due to its focus on musical performance. The film stays within traditional performance norms, missing opportunities for identity-driven storytelling, which results in lower scores for LGBTQ+ and disability representation. Despite this, the film marks a significant moment of cultural export that challenges Anglo-centric dominance in the music industry.
