Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me

Am I the only one who got a REALLY bad vibe from Raquelle ?
She seems like a parasite + CLEARLY DO NOT understand mental health
I clearly don't know their relationship, but it's a feeling I have

After watching this all I can do is just love Selena more!!!

I think this may be my favourite documentary focusing on a celeb that I've seen, standing beside other poignant deep dives into celebs lives like the documentaries, 'Miss Americana -Taylor Swift' and 'Odd One Out - Jesy Nelson'.

Selena truly doesn't hold back here and airs pretty much everything and a lot of it was things that you wouldn't know we're going on because she's done so well at hiding it. This documentary is emotional and also thought provoking as well as eye opening. It shows how much being in the limelight can take a toll upon your mental health as every aspect of your life is on show so you have no time to just be a human. This documentary is peppered with excerpts from Selena's diary which make this even more personal and raw. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

I had great expectations about this documentary film, unfortunately they were not fulfilled. It was too glossy for my taste, it seems it was made to please the fans and not scare them, but in doing so they made everything unrealistic. If they had faced the issue courageously, they should have shown how you can descend into hell and all the pain you feel in such a dark place. In this film everything's mitigated so as not to offend the sensibilities of the viewers. I wished there was a deeper look at the mental issues but there wasn't. Take a look at the the experience lived by Robin Williams as shown in "Robin's Wish" to understand what I mean, it's a much more effective biopic. Perhaps the management was more concerned about preserving Selena's public image I guess. That's something I can understand but, if so, they better didn't make this film at all or make it much shorter! A 90 minute long film is too much for what we have seen and I am surprised that Apple TV, which usually offers high quality stuff, offered such a mainstream product like this, good only at meeting fans' expectations and just that, instead of providing a brutal and sincere, contemporary and thoughtful look at mental health. I have the utmost respect for the pain that a star like Selena can feel, but this documentary could have been much better while instead it showed little or nothing of what she went through and everybody can go through in similar situations.

I watched it out of curiosity. I love the director's Truth or Dare documentary. This felt too slick compared to that one. Like the standard pop doc

The girl went through a lot. <3 Selena
