In this biographical drama, Selena Quintanilla is born into a musical Mexican-American family in Texas. Her father, Abraham, realizes that his young daughter is talented and begins performing with her at small venues. She finds success and falls for her guitarist, Chris Perez, who draws the ire of her father. Seeking mainstream stardom, Selena begins recording an English-language album which, tragically, she would never complete.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
