An honest portrait study of stardom and mental illness, the film offers a hopeful catharsis: How, when we reveal our hardest truths, we can heal together.
The documentary, although formulaic, and punctuated by tacky sequences of Gomez narrating passages from her journal over performative images that feign depth, is, in its majority, an uninhibited look into the challenges of dealing with mental illness, which is obviously exacerbated by a life in the public eye.

In this documentary, it's possible to see in a realistic way the battles that Selena faced due to her depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. If you are not a fan of her work or follow her life, probably you wouldn't notice that she struggles with anxiety and depression, but she was always open about it on interviews. People will keep thinking that celebrities don't struggle with mental health and that they have everything figured it out but they don't. They have and they are human too. So, if you want to watch a documentary where only truth is talked and shown, this is the one for you. You can see Selena's life struggles and you can also see all the physical pain she is forced to face due to lupus - an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues, such as the skin,kidneys, brain, and what the medication causes like fatigue, pain. You can clearly see that the pain is real and affects not just her body but her mind. The immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body tissue.I genuinely recommend watching this documentary as it is important to start the conversation about mental health. It is necessary to speak openly about this topic without it being something not important.
It's hard to deal daily with the feeling of emptiness, sadness, anxiety, and especially having the feeling of never being enough in something (whether in a relationship, at work, etc). I felt my heart break from start to finish during this documentary, because unfortunately i could relate a lot to those moments.
This documentary portrays all the battles that probably one of us has faced or faces daily because of our mind and reinforces the importance of mental health. Mental health is still an under-talked topic and little importance is given to this topic. People focus on physical health and forget how important it is to have a healthy mind.
It also shows that we will never know what battles the other person is facing, because having a smile on your face does not necessarily mean being happy.
Thank you Selena for starting the conversation.

It’s far from the first music doc to reveal that it can be lonely at the top, but it is among the few to convey that there are no easy answers for that when mental illness is at the root. Of all the portrayals of pop superstars that have been produced in-house in recent years, “My Mind & Me” is probably the one with the least celebratory third act … which is something to celebrate.
The worthwhile Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me explains much, about the star, the culture and maybe the moment.
As much sympathy as she deserves, Keshishian’s film doesn’t find nearly enough drama in Gomez’s crises to separate this musician profile doc from the many others we’ve seen about Katy Perry and a legion of others over the decades. The point of view is too narrow, the “outside” voices entirely star-approved insiders.
What comes through loud and clear in “My Mind & Me” is Gomez using the film to declare her priorities, and her carefully controlled revelations are a chance to write her own story.
Opening up about her bipolar disorder is surely a service, but the six-year span encompassed by this intimate Apple TV+ presentation labors to flesh out its revelations into a documentary.
A beautiful, emotional, and honest film. We love you Selena

Like the Billie Ellish Apple Documentary before it it peels back a layer of a superstar and reaching for the truth behind the headlines. It's an intimate and unfortunately relatable look into loss,depression and family. Through candid clips,interviews and narrations we get the most honest depiction of Selena as she navigates her bipolar diagnosis, fame and aspirations

Feels pretty standard for a biopic. Allows us a glimpse into Selena’s daily life with a focus on the unique struggles she faces due to her mental health issues. If you have followed Selena’s career, you will likely get more enjoyment from this film, but I feel like general audiences are going to see this as more of a vanity project, despite the film’s efforts to frame this as a philanthropic venture on Selena’s part. The film also goes to great lengths to show how relatable Selena is by showing us her humble beginnings, and the ordinary social interactions she has behind the scenes with her crew; ensuring you will walk away thinking “Oh, she is just like me. This celebrity is just an ordinary person like I am.” The problem with that being—the film isn’t particularly “fun” to watch. Sure enough, being a popstar is a job like any other, and much of it is filled with mundane business dealings, and boring (but necessary) obligations. There is some value in **** the celebrity illusion, but it’s not really something audiences haven’t seen before, or aren’t generally aware of at this point.

Hi I watched this movie in order to get two months free, but first this movie since it started shocked me because I did not expect that the name of the Prince of Pop Justin Bieber would be mentioned, secondly since the beginning of the movie she is crying this is very tired, the negative energy that overwhelms your body after the movie is finished !! A lot of crying, a lot of diseases, a lot of problems, and there is nothing positive. Even her trip to Kenya was negative in the end because she could not fulfill her promises to women, and this is sad, and I hate how she plays the role of a weak victim who just cries and cries. Anyway, thanks for the two free months.k
