Selena Gomez achieves unprecedented popularity after years in the spotlight. But, just as she hits a new high point, an unforeseen turn pulls her into the shadows. This deeply personal and emotional documentary follows her six-year journey into a new light. The film offers a touching, intimate look inside Selena's life, shot between 2016 and 2020, beginning with her Revival album tour, moving through Lupus recurrences and her kidney transplant, and culminating with her comeback with "Lose You to Love Me" and its back-breaking promotion schedule.

Finally, 'My Mind & Me' is a genuine portrayal of a young person making mistakes, falling to inner demons at times, and eventually finding her way out. Audiences have learnt a lot about her childhood and the demands she has on herself to stand for something greater than herself — and how the burden can be too much for her at times. It is also a Selena Gomez misconception that your difficulties and tribulations might represent anything to other people.
The documentary delivered in Gomez's has only one goal: to connect with people. My Mind & Me depicts her panic and final relief in disclosing her bipolar diagnosis, as well as her truly remarkable attempts to de-stigmatize mental illness. Selena Gomez continues to be an understanding and lovable figure. Perhaps because much of her career has been defined less by her talent and more by her ability to be likable and empathic across mediums, Gomez, arguably more than any of her colleagues, is the pop star with the most visible success.
