Selena Gomez is a terrible singer like JLO or Madonna all they do is try to dance to make up for their lack of Vocals. SHAKIRA IS THE LATIN QUEEN!!!!!

This movie wasn't as transparent as people are saying it was. I wish Selena was more transparent about her struggles with consumption of alcohol and drugs prior to being diagnosed with Lupus. It felt like she is trying to get sympathy...

Selena is such a fake "Latina" she was born in the USA and doesn't even show off her Latin Heritage what a disgrace. Shakira is the only greatest latin female artist period!

Selena is so Shady for not mentioning her friend that gave her a kidney 0 stars would not recommend at all instead stan a real artist like Shakira or Mariah Carey at least they can actually sing.

Allows us a glimpse into Selena’s daily life with a focus on the unique struggles she faces due to her mental health issues. If you have followed Selena’s career, you will likely get more enjoyment from this film, but I feel like general audiences are going to see this as more of a vanity project, despite the film’s efforts to frame this as a philanthropic venture on Selena’s part. The film also goes to great lengths to show how relatable Selena is by showing us her humble beginnings, and the ordinary social interactions she has behind the scenes with her crew; ensuring you will walk away thinking “Oh, she is just like me. This celebrity is just an ordinary person like I am.” The problem with that being—the film isn’t particularly “fun” to watch. Sure enough, being a popstar is a job like any other, and much of it is filled with mundane business dealings, and boring (but necessary) obligations. There is some value in shattering the celebrity illusion, but it’s not really something audiences haven’t seen before, or aren’t generally aware of at this point. Expand

Maybe if she stops crying and mentioning justin’s name all the time and her fans too maybe people won’t associate her with justin but i guess this is the only way for her to be relevant is to mention justin lol

It was very hard to watch it and see all the pain Selena had to go through. But as someone who struggles with mental health issues myself, it is giving hope. We are not alone and even though it's a very difficult journey there's light at the end of the tunnel.

I only wish it was longer and not as rushed as it sometimes felt. I feel like there's more to it that we could've discovered - but I get that might've been something she was not comfortable with sharing after all, since talking about mental health is something very delicate. I wouldn't want to be seen as "fragile" and/or "crazy" by the entire world as well. But maybe there's hope for an extended director's cut in the future.

A lot of crying, a lot of diseases, a lot of problems, and there is nothing positive. Even her trip to Kenya was negative in the end because she could not fulfill her promises to women, and this is sad, and I hate how she plays the role of a weak victim who just cries and cries. Anyway, thanks for the two free months.k Expand

Ao focar no aspecto da saúde mental, este documentário se eleva a cima da média, e por mais que todo e qualquer tipo de obra desse tipo padeça com certo viés, a edição contornou a situação da melhor forma possível, não é apelativo como poderia facilmente ser, e também não nega os defeitos da própria Selena.
Até mesmo a progressão no tempo faz muito sentido aqui, uma vez que a saúde mental transbordou na época da pandemia.
Confesso que senti um pouco de falta das músicas dela, e também não sei até que ponto superestimaram sua influência social.
Mas o fato é que o documentário é muito gostoso de assistir, com mensagens até mesmo de profissionais da saúde, que ajudam o todo a tomar uma forma de política social. Recomendo muito.

If you are not a fan of her work or follow her life, probably you wouldn't notice that sheIn this documentary, it's possible to see in a realistic way the battles that Selena faced due to her depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. If you are not a fan of her work or follow her life, probably you wouldn't notice that she struggles with anxiety and depression, but she was always open about it on interviews. People will keep thinking that celebrities don't struggle with mental health and that they have everything figured it out but they don't. They have and they are human too. So, if you want to watch a documentary where only truth is talked and shown, this is the one for you. You can see Selena's life struggles and you can also see all the physical pain she is forced to face due to lupus - an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues, such as the skin,kidneys, brain, and what the medication causes like fatigue, pain. You can clearly see that the pain is real and affects not just her body but her mind. The immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue.I genuinely recommend watching this documentary as it is important to start the conversation about mental health. It is necessary to speak openly about this topic without it being something not important.
It's hard to deal daily with the feeling of emptiness, sadness, anxiety, and especially having the feeling of never being enough in something (whether in a relationship, at work, etc). I felt my heart break from start to finish during this documentary, because unfortunately i could relate a lot to those moments.
This documentary portrays all the battles that probably one of us has faced or faces daily because of our mind and reinforces the importance of mental health. Mental health is still an under-talked topic and little importance is given to this topic. People focus on physical health and forget how important it is to have a healthy mind.
It also shows that we will never know what battles the other person is facing, because having a smile on your face does not necessarily mean being happy.

Thank you Selena for starting the conversation.
