Critic Reviews

Selena y Los Dinos is no mere tribute, it is a vibrant argument for Selena’s humanity, as well as her status as a legend.

This definitive doc about Selena feels comprehensive and illuminating, thanks to candid family interactions found in home movies from their earliest performances at their restaurant, recordings of local Texas TV station appearances, and eventually images captured on the road while traveling in a makeshift tour bus.

While Selena’s raw talent and infectious personality are a huge draw, the film’s real selling point is its access to Selena’s family, open and honest in their recollections.

It’s an accessible presentation for fans. Others may find it too insider-focused, even as it renders Selena’s symbolic self more human.

Selena y Los Dinos remains a slick doc most likely to appeal to her fans.
