	SELENA- The Movie
		Selena's story had such a universal appeal that she was mourned not only by fans but by Latinos nationwide.
		Because of Selena's father's hands-on approach to the film, there was early speculation that the film would be on a short creative leash and that the story might be told completely from Abraham's perspective.
		Selena was someone who had not just tremendous talent but also a beautiful heart, and I think that's what her fans loved most about her.

		Selena later earns the wrath of her father when she becomes romantically involved with Chris Perez (Jon Seda), a rebellious and long-haired guitarist hired to play with the group, but when they elope and Selena convinces Abraham that their love is sincere, Chris is welcomed into the family.
		Selena is the best movie ever!I loved the way she sang and didn't here about her until i was 5 years old the day her live ended on the news.

	Selena Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		"Selena" is the bittersweet story of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, filled with the triumphs and tragedies of her short but fulfilled life.
		Selena, on the verge of womanhood (now played by Jennifer Lopez, who also appeared in Nava's previous films), finds herself placed precariously between the wishes of her father, and the need to find her own path.
		Whereas Selena is uninterested in her heritage and is hesitant to embrace it, Abraham is rigidly traditionalist yet feels handicapped by his background, seeing it as a weakness, recalling the prejudice in his life from both sides of the border.

	Laramie Movie Scope: Selena
		"Selena" tells the true-life story of a pioneering young Tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla Perez, who was tragically killed by the director of her own fan club, Yolanda Saldivar.
		When Selena died in 1995, her name was not widely known outside the narrow confines of Tejano music, which is a blend of traditional rhythms with a variety of other musical styles.
		Selena was in the process of making her "crossover" English album when she died.

		While Selena's fans and relatives are eagerly awaiting the movie's release, they said it would be a bittersweet reminder of the tragedy that cut short the life of a rising star and role model.
		The movie traces the life of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, from her childhood days spent singing with the family's band to her ascent as a Grammy-winning Tejano star and her preparations to cross over to the American pop charts.
		The new songs, all in English, were recorded in 1990 and were instrumental in landing Selena a contract for her crossover album, ''Dreaming of You,'' said EMI Latin President Jose Behar, who signed Selena to the record label in 1989.

	Selena Movie Review
		SELENA is a rags-to-riches story, but it shuns the extremes common to movies of this sort.
		Her death is tragic, but the tone of the movie is gracious and joyful, not bitter and sad.
		It's a shame that the movie came out only two years after Selena's death because it seems like the movie is carefully targeted at just her fans and mourners.

		I saw the video "Selena" and it went sraight to my heart...the songs were so good, but I`m wondering why I never heard about her before...i got so good impression about her..I really believe that she was amazing woman...
		Selena has been a fan of mine ever since I was 5 years old,but I didn't know her music until she passed away.Selena had an enormous heart for her fans I guess that's why I love her music so much because she put her heart into her voice.
		I just wush I could have heard Selena's music before this tragic accident, but even though she is no longer with us, her movie and music is. And I tend to get all of her albums, even movies if they should be availble.

	MMI Movie Review: Selena
		Selena's fans continue to idolize her: a Selena doll is in the works, her records continue to sell, her youthful beauty on the day of her death makes her a timeless inspiration for the little girls who will want to do likewise.
		Selena's professional champion is her father Abraham, who serves as executive producer for Gregory Nava's 1997 film.
		Selena's father didn't want Saldivar to be represented in the movie at all: As it is, we watch hours of a movie now released because of a real-life tragedy that's addressed in a very marginal way here.

	SELENA movie review with photos, video
		Selena succeeds most when it concentrates on her family life, particularly her loving relationship with her father, portrayed here by Edward James Olmos.
		Selena's brother and sister are recruited to play the bass and drums, Mom helps Selena design and make costumes, and Dad drives the tour bus.
		Selena's tragic demise is depicted quickly, almost as a painful afterthought.

	[ ChatTimes Movie Reviews : "Selena"] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Selena planted none of the tragedy's seeds and had nothing to do with flicking the switch that turned off her life.
		But Selena, her new husband waiting outside in the car, has hardly taken a step inside the house to face the music and her dad is telling her that she was exactly right to have done what she did.
		The Selena you'll see on the screen is a modest, sweet-tempered young woman who, at the time she died, was dreaming still-girlish dreams of bigger stardom and having babies.

	Review: Selena (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As far as I was aware, Selena's tragic end was just another minor footnote in music history -- I hadn't heard of her before and I didn't expect to hear of her again.
		This is a multigenerational story, exploring not only Selena's realization of her dreams, but the importance of her father's vision to all that she accomplished.
		Selena achieves the perfect emotional pitch for the subject, and, though this is a celebration of life, youth, and family, our awareness of the inevitable end lends a sense of poignancy to the proceedings.

	Selena (1997) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		She is one of the many in the Quintanilla family: the father, Abraham, the mother, Marcela, and the siblings, Abie, Suzette, and of course Selena.
		Selena, although the centerpiece of the plot, is jumbled in the family atmosphere with little significance above the rest of the members in her household.
		Selena is the character who she was born to star as, and what a wonderful, inspiring job she does.

		The unavoidable subject of Selena's killer--a woman who happened to be the president of her fan club--is considerably and oddly downplayed.
		This movie was released just two years after Selena got shot, and nobody was ready to see a gritty, raw version of the singer's life.
		My name is Selena aswell and i was so glad to know there was a star named Selena and i was even more glad when i knew she was a brilliant singer i hope i will be as sucsesful as she was.

	National Review: Selena. - movie reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In Selena, written and directed by Gregory Nava, whose two previous movies I managed to miss, we get a typical musical "biopic" with all the visual and verbal cliches, but put together with a certain artiness.
		The movie is chiefly concerned with the star and the noisily adoring multitudes.
		Selena, ably embodied by Jennifer Lopez, tearfully concludes her Grammy-award speech, "I'd especially like to thank the fans, because without you we'd be nothing." But how much more is she with them, particularly when you consider that, thanks to one of them, she ends up dead?

	Selena Movie Review
		I have to confess that I know little about Selena when I watch the show, and 2.5 hours later, I felt what thousands felt when she passed away in 1995, sadness and grief.
		This movie was bypassed from the big screens here as the targetted audience might be small, but what a mistake it is. It is one of the most moving show I have seen this year.
		We are given a visual treat from the very beginning of the show, it would be hard not to be shakened by the enormous reception Selena got from her fans at the concert.

	Parent Previews: Selena
		Selena, the movie, is a warm and positive story that is much more a testament of the importance of families than a biography that ends in tragedy.
		Instead, the movie takes us back to Selena's beginning, when she was a cute little girl growing up in a family that was willing to do anything for their children.
		Other than Selena's attempts to mimic Madonna's trend in on-stage fashion (much to her father's dismay), this film is suitable for all ages.

	Movie Review - Selena
		Selena, the movie based on the short life of the Tejano superstar, follows the well-worn tradition of inspirational tales about musicians who die young.
		Selena sketches out a tale of unexceptional obstacles: kids gripe about practice; family suffers a financial setback; dad gripes about Selena's abbreviated stage outfits, and a promoter shorts their pay because the lead singer is ''just a woman.''
		On the whole, the movie bogs down in reverence for Selena and her family; I lost count of the speeches about believing in yourself and making dreams come true.

	Jennifer Lopez
		She started her acting career early in the 90s with movies like "Mi Familia", "Money Train", and "U-Turn", but it wasn't that Lopez had her first breakthrough success until she landed the part of Selena Quintanilla in the movie Selena.
		Later she released the fourth single "Baby I Love You" the musical theme for the movie "Gigli." Last, she released the fifth single "The One", but the video was based on the remixed version of the song which featured East Coast Rapper Joe Budden.
		Lopez is the first actress and singer to have a movie ("The Wedding Planner") and an album ("J.Lo") at #1 in the same week.

		And this one has enough raw material to launch dozens of fairy tales and soap operas: Selena, whom many believe was on the verge of almost unprecedented success on both the Spanish and English charts, goes to a hotel on the outskirts of her hometown to confront Saldivar, the manager of her clothing store.
		They also say Selena showed them blonde hair and a fair complexion aren't required for success -- an important lesson that would be saluted without reservation had it not come from a woman who made her living in outfits a hooker might covet.
		Nevertheless, she bought a Selena keychain because it was the first time she had ever seen a Latina other than the Virgen de Guadalupe memorialized like that.

		This album has some of her Donna Summer's covers (I think that she was Selena's favorite singer) and several of her crossover songs such as "I could fall in love" and "Dreaming of you" from her Multi-Platinum first and only English album.
		This is Selena for English speakers, which I am one but most of her best stuff was in Spanish.
		Being the soundtrack of a movie about a woman and family that was all about music this probably should have been a double album.

		Continuity: When Selena, her brother and father are in the van discussing touring in Mexico, in one shot Abie has his seat belt on, in the next shot it is off, the next is on, etc.
		Continuity: In the scene where Selena's father and mother are arguing over the kid's first performance, Selena's mom's hair first is in front of her shoulders, than behind, and it continues like that for the duration of that scene.
