Editorial Review:
Gregory Nava (Why Do Fools Fall In Love?) directs this more-or-less official film biography of the late Mexican-American singer, Selena Quintanilla Perez (the film is coproduced by her father), which emphasizes sentimentality over conflict and plays down the star's horrific death at the hands of a deranged fan. Jennifer Lopez is quite good as Selena, whose roots we come to know through the story of her father (Edward James Olmos), a Corpus Christi singer who was rejected by white audiences. The script focuses primarily on Selena's inspiring rise, and it tries to muster some sense of urgent conflict over not-particularly-contentious issues (such as her relationship with a guitarist). But Olmos does a fine job portraying the elder Perez as a possessive sort, and the music and general buoyancy of Lopez's performance are infectious. The unavoidable subject of Selena's killer--a woman who happened to be the president of her fan club--is considerably and oddly downplayed. --Tom Keogh
Selena (10th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews:
One of the greatest films of all time!

Awesome DVD!
2008-06-02 - I loved the extra features on this, including interviews from the family and Chris. Plus, I found it interesting to see the deleted scenes that didn't make the original version.
Great movie and added features
2008-04-02 - Being a tremedous fan of Selena herself and this movie, I am very pleased with this 10-yr anniversary DVD set. The origina, theatrical movie is on one disc, while a longer, director's cut of the movie (with added scenes) is on another disc. Both discs have great features to celebrate the movie's release ten year ago, including a documentary about the movie 10 years later with interviews with cast and their real-life counterparts. A definite must-own for any Selena fan. And as everybody knows, the movie is outstanding and true to Selena.
