3/10
A documentary of missed opportunities
23 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Was a very raw and open hearted documentary and drew a lot of attention to important subjects of mental health and Selena's work with WE.

However.

It just felt like the documentary wasn't flowing. You could lose half of it because it was just Selena crying and feeling sorry for herself and telling us information that we already know. Nothing in the documentary is new information.

I wouldn't loved for her to start off with how her career began what that led to just a chronological order to her life. She barely skims the surface of a lot of topics.

Her career with Disney? What is the lasting impact now? Why does it trigger her?

Her relationship with her body? I'd love for her to sit in front of a campers and be straight.

Her lupus diagnosis how has that affected her? Same with her bipolar disorder I don't just want to see it I want her to talk us through and her personal experience with it. We saw clips of her getting her BP and being in hospital but we never really understood what was happen ring in her mind just the people around her.

Her kidney transplant - was expecting a deeper dive into this and her relationship with Francia.

Feel like this documentary was definitely a 'feel sorry for me' which is disappointing because I feel like Selena could definitely shift the narrative of the way people view in this documentary but she hasn't.
