Washington Post
The film's many musical scenes can be riveting. But Selena is less concert film than family drama, particularly focusing on Selena's struggles with her father after she falls in love with, and eventually marries, her guitarist Chris Perez (heartthrob Jon Seda). Full Review
Edward Guthmann
San Francisco Chronicle
The movie, directed and written by Gregory Nava ("My Family/Mi Familia"), is only so-so but Lopez, who appeared recently in "Jack'' and "Blood and Wine," is so vibrant that you almost forgive the movie's paint-by-numbers script and moldy formula. Full Review
Eric Brace
Washington Post
The hagiography of Selena (executive produced by Selena’s father) will please her fans, but doesn’t give much insight into the person behind the star. Full Review
James Berardinelli
ReelViews
This is a simple story of hope and triumph, of one girl with the drive to succeed defying the odds and following her dream. It's not an original tale -- movies like this abound -- but Nava's point-of-view is fresh. Full Review
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
Selena is in part a completely predictable Latino soap opera that should satisfy those who complain they aren't making movies like they like used to. Full Review
