Because she is suffering from SPS and undergoing treatments.

Well, she also gave a Christmas message few months ago. And no one is pressuring, but that's LITERALLY the least they could do to promote since she's not physically there.

Very excited leaving the cinema. Celine was incredible and fantastic. His scenes very well worked. His music everywhere in the movie moved me a lot. At the end, there’s a big surprise for all the fans.

I’m loved the first song that was played at the beginning of the movie. It’s like a uptempo reggeaton sound. It’s crazy!

Here’s a review from Journal de Montreal: https://www.journald...ourou-de-lamour

Another one here: https://www.blu-ray....1452840/#Review
“Dion appears in the film as a Yoda-type figure wise in the ways of love and loss.”

Do you realise Celine might be in pain? Do you understand her immune system might have shut down as we speak? That she might be in quarantine? Have you considered she might be too depressed to make a public appearance? Have you bothered reading about SPS? I am sick and tired of reading posts full of entitlement and insensitivity. Fans thinking in terms of promo at the expense of showing true empathy and understanding for what is going on. We are dealing with an autoimmune disease that might cost her LIFE QUALITY and CAREER and all I'm reading is comments from fans complaining about lack of promo. You have the audacity to outline what is the least Celine could do? Really? You do not even have the basic logic to weigh the pros and cons of the situation in that it is better to neglect this film if that means focusing on her treatments and ultimately saving her career. The shortsightedness is truly shocking. I was away from this forum for about 3 years and decided to come back at this very difficult time, as I felt this would be a place to find likeminded people to be understanding since we are all on the same page, but I am very sad to see that we are not. Celine is fighting the battle of her life and here you are expecting a video message to boost the film! Appalling, just appalling.

I honestly don’t picture anyone other than Celine’s fans seeing this (which there are a lot of us!!!)

Three observations about Celine’s part
- Celine is a damn good actress!
- The script does not really match her personality. It’s too patronizing
- The trailer had some parts which I did not see in the movie. Maybe they’ll release a DVD with deleted scenes or something

She can really act that well? OMG! MORE PLEASE! Anyone who watched this early?

[jpatdeleon09]

I’ve been seeing review froms non-céline fans on twitter that Céline’s debut acting were really good!

All I hear is pessimistic thoughts from fans. But yes, I know she's in trouble, and pain. She might be quarantined. But I suppose they must have recorded something already.

Some thoughts about the new movie-

- Has Celine or her music ever received lots of amazing reviews from critics?  Definitely not. Sadly.  So, did we really didn't expect this new movie that stars Celine, to receive tons of great reviews??  but, does it really matter that much what critics say?? No, it matters what the fans think. The support of Celine's fans matters. Celine's had such an amazing career, because she is one of the greatest singer of all time, and also because she has some of the best, most loyal fans ever. Hopefully, the fans show up at theaters to see the new movie and support Celine and enjoy this big moment in her career. Celine's wanted to act for so many years, and it's so great to see Celine make her big screen acting debut!

- "Love Again" is not and was not supposed to be a giant, hollywood blockbuster movie expected to make hundreds of millions at the box office or a movie that will sweep the Academy Awards. But, the movie is an exciting comeback of the timeless rom-com movie genre. Good romantic comedy movies have basically been absent for a long time now, and as Sam Heughan and Priyanka Chopra have pointed out, it's a homeage to the great rom-com's of the past and to Celine Dion. Hopefully, even if this movie doesn't do great at the box office, it will still have big success on streaming services like Netflix, and will hopefully have strong DVD sales as well. Hopefully this movie will over the years become a timeless, loved rom-com, like the other classic rom-com's that so many still love.

- Celine's favorite number for many, many years has been the number 5, and it's pretty awesome that the movie is being released on 5/5 and that Celine has 5 new songs in the movie, and on the soundtrack!! Like that was destiny and God's plan!  

- Truly hoping that the movie soundtrack will perform well! I already pre-ordered the soundtrack on Amazon, on CD, and can't wait to own it! I've seen the soundtrack reach the top 5 for all soundtracks chart on Amazon, right now it's currently in the top 15, and hopefully a lot of people that see the movie, and especially the loyal fans will purchase the soundtrack. I don't expect the soundtrack to hit #1 (even though I'd love to see that!), but, it would be very nice to see the soundtrack achieve success!

You restore my faith in people, a very big thank you!  She needs our support like never before and her fans care about things so disproportionate to the fight she is leading just now…  I'm really depressed by some posts.

Two more reviews (ouch):

https://chicago.sunt...nas-sam-heughan ("I’m not going to say the ridiculous and off-putting romantic text-message dramedy “Love Again” is the worst movie of the year, but it might be the most implausible film I’ve seen so far in 2023, and I’m not necessarily excluding “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Cocaine Bear” and “65” from the competition.")
https://punchdrunkcr...iew-love-again/ ("Absurd rom-com made for Celine Dion and Celine Dion fans")

This film isn't getting much love. Surprised to read some of this, because I quite liked Jim's other films, and they were all seemingly much better received. Maybe this is a case of a major studio meddling too much with a creative vision. Art by committee?

Yeah, but she’s got 12 min of screen time. There’s a larger creative work here which is being panned, and it’s from someone who has historically been quite a festival darling in his indie work.

[CourageProject]

We all know Critcs reveiws doesn't matter these days. People read audience review. And as far as those are good, the film might do good too.

Also, Critics are quite partial. They don't like Céline, so anything involving Céline is cheesy or bad even if she's in it just for 12 mins. Ridiculous

[CourageProject]

Rotten Tomato has just 33% rating. That's too low. Where are the Céline fans????

[Crazy for Celine]

Another review and i can say that this is very harsh, especially at the end the writer wrote something like “This movie is totally going to be a flop”

Are all reviews actually bad or you're just trying to sabotage the film by sharing bad reviews?

People absolutely read critics reviews and base their entertainment choices on them. Always have, always will.
I certainly have always enjoy reading art criticism, from people who know how to write it (and certainly, not all do). The entire 33 1/2 book series exists for a reason, to mention just one example. (And personally, the Céline-themed 33 1/2 book is what brought me back into the Céline fold after ~15 years away.)

Anyway, reposting this because it's still the best thing I read thus far in relation to this movie:

In addition to the previously announced appearances on Colbert (cancelled due to the strike), GMA, Jennifer Hudson, and WWHL, Priyanka is now also scheduled for the Kelly Clarkson show on May 9th: https://www.interbri...ineupsdate.html

Maybe she'll sing some Celine? Never watched the show, but that's Kelly's thing, right?

Not everyone listens to the critics I don’t! And when I’ve read their reviews usually I feel the opposite.

However, tho their opinions may not hurt the film it definitely does NOT help it either. I don’t think people realize that the director and actors have said multiple times it’s supposed to be homage to the old school romcoms, which haven’t been popular in almost 2 decades.

[jpatdeleon09]

Actually, most critics are wrong when reviewing movies. It’s better to watch it yourself and you’ll be surprised how good the movie is. That’s why I don’t read reviews from critics. I only read audience reviews. - this is real and not bias. Some critics are kinda bias especially - ala rollinstones
