Given that the film Selena is such a personal cultural touchstone for many, especially the Latinx community, this will be an open film review for Selena. This means that there is no prompt, but I want you to think of your own relationship to the film and Selena the star. If this is your first time viewing the film, think about what you knew about Selena’s impact before your film viewing, and how the film lives up those expectations.
