Selena (1997)

The only thing I knew about Selena going into this movie is that she was singer who was murdered at a relatively young age. I appreciate that her father as producer was willing to portray himself in not the most positive of light, but other than that, this is a pretty by-the-book music biopic. I also think it was a good decision to focus much more on her life instead of her death, with very little time spent on Selena’s relationship with her murderer. I don’t have many opinions on Jennifer Lopez’s acting in general, but there were times in this movie where she completely transformed into Selena.
