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.
