[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “musical” aspect was beyond awful.  I was willing to give it a chance - seemed like an unusual premise, to say the least.  But the music was terrible, the lyrics idiotic, and the “dancing” embarrassing.  I can’t even believe this thing has already won awards.[/quote]

I thought it was an interesting concept but the musical stuff was so badly done.  It’s like the opposite of hamilton — the lyrics are not clever, no musicality and the singers weren’t very good.  (Main actor has a terrible voice.  I assume Selena can sing but she had nothing to work with.). I watched it in Spanish and the lyrics weren’t good in Spanish either.

I also thought it was pretty flip — there’s a line in one of the songs about people wanting to be forgiven and wanting to forgive and I thought — do the families of students killed and out into vats of acids to disappear in the desert really just want to forgive?  Seems unlikely.  It all made me uncomfortable.

I thought the acting was good though.  And Selena looked amazing.  (Minor point but Zoe was a lawyer in the initial scenes and so was so badly dressed with awful hair — no way a high end Mexican defense attorney would dress like that, even as a young associate.) [/quote]
