Strange that there are no comments on this movie. It has a big reputation in the Mexican-American and queer communities.
The film itself is fine. It doesn't take risks, choosing to show a lot of reverence for Selena (which makes sense, coming out only two years after her untimely death). The ending of the film might be jarring for someone who isn't aware of how the real-life events unfolded. Telling the story via news reports instead of actually filming Selena's death was a choice that perhaps made sense at the time, but feels like the wrong one 30 years later. It robs the film of a lot of the power and tragedy of the ending. 5 months 2 weeks ago
