Movie Haiku:Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a young woman with enormous energy, courage, and talent, was murdered at 23 just after winning her first Grammy. This is “authorized” biography; her father was her manager & serves as Executive Producer here. But read between the lines & the strong performances will win you over.
