How close are they following the book? Bc if they are her character won't pop up until halfway through and doesn't really have an impact. The story is really suppose to be about Ben and Trevor
Smart how she's rebranding as a more credible artist in both film and music. Everything from the more artistic cover shot of Revival to the more simplistic, elegantly-shot music videos, and interestingly enough, critics have responded. This will ensure she is able to have a long-term career.

She is also getting praise for her role in another Oscar contender - The Big Short.
Quote:
If there were an Oscar for best dramatization of a derivative, it would surely go to behavioral economist Richard Thaler and singer Selena Gomez, playing themselves, at a blackjack table. The crowd lays bets on Gomez’s hand, then on each other’s bets. It’s just like a “synthetic CDO”—a derivative priced off complex mortgage securities that itself contains no mortgages.
That's great for her. But let's not go to far too soon. For her as a young actress coming from Disney it is amazing how she is building an acting career with strong indie movies.
Even if she herself won't be nominated for this movie it is worth so much to be part of movies like this, getting early praise and buzz. And that is something nobody can take away from her at this point, whatever the future may bring.
Selena Gomez, as a sassy hitchhiker the boys pick up along the road, is pretty unbearable. Her character steers the movie away from “Harold and Maude” dark comedy into the more conventional precincts of the feel-good flick. (NY Post)
Selena Gomez's painted on jeans give a stronger performance than she does. (Examiner)
She can’t help but feel like a third wheel on this journey. (Variety)
