Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me

It was raw. It was emotional. It was honest. I applaud Selena for deciding to speak to the world in this way. I have always admired her for the many things she is and does. This movie took it to a whole new level. I've been battling with my own mental and physical health and knowing that it's gaining more visibility by people, it's becoming a bigger conversation, thankfully to Selena and people with her platform, it means a lot. Mental health pains is not a monster we should hide. What Selena is doing is important and so necessary. Every such conversation is a beat that keeps our hearts alive.

I probably could've watched much sooner happy to regardless since it's nominated and I didn't know so much of what Selena Gomez has experienced except depression, I can't imagine what Lupuis is like I'm so glad Selena stays strong! I love Selena she's wonderful and great that gets so much support not enough famous people do I imagine. Raquel seems great I didn't know of her before this. The stigma of everything must be overwhelming it's always impressive how well anyone handles it all. I know more of the films and shows than the music id probably enjoy a lot of them after this id appreciate them more for sure.

Selena's documentary had me hooked from the beginning. I love how open and honest she was about her internal struggles with her health, fame, philanthropy and mental health. I think what makes this so special is that her thoughts are so relatable. The documentary makes you, the viewer, feel like you a friend on her journey.

I've always been a Selena Gomez fan and this experience just confirmed why she is one of my favorite celebrities. The future of fame is vulnerability and Selena is a leader in bringing authenticity back in all walks of life. I highly recommend everyone to give this watch even if you don't know her or not a fan.

This was a tough watch at times, but I appreciated the raw and unfiltered nature. Selena has gone through a lot in her young life and it was fascinating to see an inside look at how she manages it all.

The diary entries written over the screen are a bit cheesy, but they provide another means of expression for Selena. There's also a lot of similar ground that's covered in most music documentaries, but the focus on mental health was a nice addition. Hopefully people will have a little more sympathy for famous people who struggle with the same things that normal do too. Obviously they have more means at their disposal, but the pain is the same.

I will admit, I cried a few times watching this one. It was heavy and vulnerable in a way I wasn't even entirely prepared for. It was an extremely human documentary, not polished up with anything. Very little, almost no, sit down interviews and commentary about what we're watching unfold. Nobody is spoon feeding us their takes or opinions. We are just watching Selena go through all she went through, learning so much along the way.

I've always liked Selena Gomez but I haven't been like her #1 fan. I'm happy to say I've never said one negative thing about her. And I'm glad, because she used this documentary to show why human beings need room to breathe and live their lives, celebrity or not. People have to get to make mistakes, struggle, get back up again, and be respected.

Well done to the filmmakers of "My Mind & Me." The journal entry readings, the footage chosen, the way it was all left on the table, will all have an impact on me for a long time to come.
