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.
