It’s uncomfortable to watch towards the end but she wanted us to see it and look at it this way… look at her now in NYC last week, look how well and happy she was and looked, she’s on the return.

Yeah, that does offer some comfort to be fair as I don’t think many of us could’ve dealt with the doc and the emotions of it if we hadn’t seen her looking healthier and like her old self again of late.  In fact that doesn’t even bear thinking about, does it?! 😢

The first reviews in the Netherlands are coming in, and of course, the down-to-earth Dutch perspective must prevail. There is indeed respect for Céline's openness, but there is also mention of the image created of a "normal" woman while assistants and drivers constantly surround her.

Original link here, translation hereunder:

I Am: Celine Dion: it doesn't get more intimate than this (3,5/5 stars)

Documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor shows the singer during her heyday and after her recent diagnosis in a genuinely touching portrait. 'My dream is to become an international star,' declares Céline Dion on a VHS tape from somewhere in the eighties. In the present day, it is clear that the singer is struggling. She has been diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS), a neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness. In the opening titles, she groans in pain, and as a viewer, you know: the camera is allowed everywhere. Documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor (Leave No Trace, 2022) encounters a world star who, although perhaps partly staged, wants to bare her soul. For instance, Dion wears little makeup during most interviews; this is the woman behind the scenes.

What is fascinating about the documentary is Dion's life outside the spotlight. She shows the viewer a warehouse full of items, including the dresses she wore during her long reign in Las Vegas, where she often performed twice a day for thousands of people. She is proud of it and also shows how it works – sleeves and pant legs can be expertly detached from an outfit so that sweat doesn’t break out during a performance. 'That is show business,' says Dion beaming at the camera. But that is also a period behind her; when she tries to sing for the camera, her voice falters.

Dion responds emotionally. It was always about touching people, she says. Although a glimpse into her sock drawer and her enormous collection of Dior shoes proves another effect of her music: she is incredibly wealthy. In that sense, she tries to be an ordinary mother on camera (her children also make appearances), but you constantly see an army of assistants and drivers at the edges of the frame. Yet, it seems unlikely that you could get closer to the singer. That probably has more to do with her calculated intentions than Taylor's filmmaking.

Just finished watching and first want to say I have always been proud to be a Celine fan and now even more for what she is doing to shine awareness on this disease and how hard she has and is fighting.  She is remarkable.

The end was the most powerful and not the crisis which was horrible but seeing her struggle to record Love Again. Seeing how she wanted to do what she had always been able too so easily and then to see how much of a struggle it was. I needed more of that as it really showed what SPS seemed to have taken from her. Thankfully with all the recent appearances we see with hard work and the right medicine she is finding her voice again and that SPS has not taken anything.

I wish they showed the progress she has obviously made over the last year since we see her now doing so much better. Even a little message at the end of the movie.
The interviews we’ve gotten in the last few weeks in a way gave me much more insight into her struggle over the last 17 years then the movie. I kind of wish they combined the movie and the nature of the interviews, and we saw more questions and her explaining the last years and less of the flashback clips.

Celine is the star rightly so and when focused on her it was great, but the editing of the clips was not that good for me. Some were just so random and really did not make sense. Like when we get the montage of people that helped her along the way and not even a quick clip of Rene, he was her manager not just her husband.

The John Farnham bit was not so bad but little longer than needed to be but made more sense than throwing in the Wheel of Musical Impressions and the My Heart Will Go On w/James Cordon. Both seemed like let’s just throw in some recent clips that everyone would recognize, they did nothing to further the story.

I understand it was symbolic but when she was talking about going on stage and the Valium not being as effective, they show a clip of her right before coming back after RC was born which is way before SPS. Why not a shot from recent years or even TC tour?

I just wanted it to dig deeper, does she really envy those rockers? Does she wish she had not been so disciplined back then? Why did she not stop and see the world? What about TC tour when did see some of the world? I wanted more like how she was coping with Rene being gone instead of the cliché All By Myself.  And what about RC not being around was it just because Irene really was not there that often, or was he not coming around?

It felt disjointed to me. It was like we were just going deeper when we saw her struggle to record Love Again and then the movie was over. I wanted more Celine and less flashbacks.

In a few years I hope we get a career bio series, or book not just a 2 hr movie that celebrates her career and life, and we see her reminiscence about those times. Showing the world all that Rene and she accomplished together, all the good times and not just the sadness of him being gone. All she has done after he passed and all she will accomplish after gaining control of SPS.

So much this! CBC was brilliant by showing Celine performing A Vous in 2019 and struggling. It was exactly what it was. Showing Celine from 2002 looking nervous while talking about SPS is somewhat misleading.

[scielle]

Impressed with this article from CBC mentioning La Diva & embedding the song in their article.
https://www.cbc.ca/m...ntary-1.7239517

“It's no secret that Dion is a fan of Callas — her 2007 album D'elles included "La diva," a powerful tribute to the soprano.”

[scielle]

I love that she's so resolved to showing that scene, to raise awareness of what this disease is like. But you know the tabloid coverage is going to be so crass and exploitative.

And I see the anti-vaxxers are already out in force again.

Ugh.

[scielle]

Agree with what's been said above that the most powerful scenes are those of Celine today, and I wish we had more of that and less of recent clips easily found on YouTube. Some of those random segments included just feel clunky and out of place. In that respect, I agree with what New York Times had to say. (I had posted the full thing in the Reviews thread.)

"She then sings “Gimme a Break,” the Kit Kat commercial jingle. While that welcome touch of humor pulls you into this intimately told story — what’s more Celine than an impromptu vocal? — inconsequential clips take you out of it: her impersonation of Sia on a late-night talk show; a part of her “Ashes” video that lets the Deadpool cameo go on for too long; her career-defining ballad “My Heart Will Go On” but, mystifyingly, the “Carpool Karaoke” version with James Corden.
These awkward segments weaken the powerful emotional atmosphere of witnessing Dion transcend her circumstances. Especially when she lets the cameras stick around, showing some of the most grim health-related scenes I have ever seen of a superstar onscreen."

I actually think not doing so made the project more powerful. There isn't a nice, neat, predictable Hollywood ending. It's a cliff-hanger of sorts, and I think it works really well in that it shows the reality of being in that situation - you just don't know where you're going to end up, if you're going to emerge on the other end of it. It shows where she was at at the time, and while she's clearly physically and mentally better now, I think jumping straight to that point would have discounted the years of work it took to get there.

I think Time Magazine made this point eloquently in their review: https://time.com/699...mentary-review/
"The documentary’s sleight of hand is to leave viewers both with a sense of hope and a lack of firm narrative resolution. We know that there aren’t guarantees in Dion’s future, but we also admire her will. A completely unhappy ending would make I Am: Celine Dion almost too much to bear, but the refusal to tie things up neatly underlines the relative grittiness of the project. It sticks the landing with the kind of calculation fit for a perfectionistic diva."

I do see that but I don't even want to contemplate her not getting back to the stage and recording again the way she loves. I don't think I could have handled this if we didn't see all the progress she has now made. She has lost so much already just want to see her happy.

Guess don't want people to go away thinking she is done for and her voice is gone. Wonder if all the interviews or at least some of them would have been better after the doc aired so we could see the progress after witnessing the hell she went through.

It's worth noting that the Time Magazine review is written by Rich Juzwiak, who has written extensively about Celine in the past, and is the man behind the "Celine Dion is Amazing" YouTube videos.

Don't think this was posted already, but another nice interview with Irene: https://www.salon.co...n-irene-taylor/

[marc-02]

A few notes:

- Bear should be considered a Supporting Actor. She got more exposure than any human in the film.

- I also had the impression RC no longer leaves with his mom

- Nice touch to give Andre, Marc, and her backup singers i.e. Elise their "moment" in the film

- I didnt know they actually had it on tape the moment that Celine described in the Carpool Karaoke where she was talking a out how they were already reporting the news of her giving birth just as she/Rene were holding RC in their arms.

I agree, even a few small details in the doc could have gone a long way to combatting misinformation and misinterpretation. Because we all know so many people in the general public just selectively tune in for things and don't know the full story/updates.

Just finished watching the documentary.  Like everyone said, the crisis scene was so difficult to watch, and to see her someone who we admire and love and respect so much to suffer like that, in a state that we have never seen nor imagined.  Have so so so much respect for her.

Few more thoughts:

Appreciating Love Again so much more now

It's difficult to describe the feeling seeing footage of her full force on stage, mixed with footage of her lying on a couch at her home


I didn't realize until I rewatch again that the spasms scene at the beginning of the documentary is a different occasion from the one at the end of the documentary

Wow about her warehouse, how much stuff she keeps and things that she remembers

Did she have a full make-up on while giving birth to RC? Haha

I think because it’s still pandemic at that time they shot this documentary and Rene Charles always go out so I think it’s smart to stay at a different house.

So I have a question. So the two episodes she had that we see, did the first one happen after the episode at the end of the film? I didn't get the 1 year earlier thing.

I agree , I could not really understand the timing of everything. It seemed like the very beginning scene of her with the paramedics is when the crisis first starting to really happen , then a year later there was a diagnosis. Then the last scenes of her having the other crisis was a more recent one , perhaps after the announcement was made in Dec 2022. Again, not sure of the timing.

I think the 1st episode was happened first which I assumed it was the one we hear from the trailer calling 9-1-1. And the second episode is the latest one which they handled without needing to call 9-1-1

[rodrigofreitas]

The documentary begins with a young Céline excited about the show she will soon perform.
And it ends with the same young Céline excited about the show she will be able to do.
Throughout the documentary We saw how much she loves singing and being on stage. This is Celine Dion.
And with that, the documentary shows, in a poetic way, what is expected, a possible Céline returning to the stage.

I Am: Celine Dion Documentary Review

I finally had the chance to watch this long awaited documentary yesterday. It took me some time to fully digest what I saw. When members here attended the premiere and pre release screenings, I have to say I was surprised at the amount of them who said they needed time to digest this film, now I get it.

I think Irene Taylor led a brilliant team in telling this story. It was perfect for Celine’s “NOW”… this wasn’t about her career but rather her character profile. As if character pieces aren’t hard enough to nail and fully understand the subject, we have Celine learning about her condition while going through this process making all that much more real but complicated nonetheless.

I loved this film.. I love the realness it gives off. Who can’t love Celine more after this project? The “episode” is so disturbing, but that was her reality in that moment, and I think it’s going to help so many people, dare I say, even going to help educate the medical community who isn’t so sure about SPS still.

My HIGHLIGHTS include:
1. Celine Celine CELINE the real Celine.
2. I loved seeing her talk and interact with her children
3. Speak so fondly of her mom and her famous “carrot pie”.
4. The “Love Again”studio session( watching her master the art in a way that she wasn’t used to but ultimately the pro in her found a way to work with what she had even after getting so frustrated ( also was that studio in her home, looked like a bowling alley as they left the studio?)
5. Of course her performance of “who I am”. No need to say more about that scene.

My only complaints if you can call them that (because it’s a masterpiece in my opinion)…

Some of the archival footage they chose wasn’t really thought through in my opinion.
Why does “Treat Her Like A Lady” have a spot in this film but IACBTMN is neglected?
The John Farnham bit was way TOO LONG for a documentary with a run time of 1hr 42 minutes.  Also Irene must really love RDMH as it has a big part of the archival footage. And lastly, I wish we had less archival footage in general and more of the “now”.


I think this documentary served its purpose. And I think the “purpose” was for them to take back the narrative, to explain themselves ( not that they had to)  for the absence, and ultimately set the stage for the next chapter that Celine has in mind. A fresh slate so to speak. They accomplished all that and at the same time tugged at our hearts, and showed us a Celine nobody knew.

This film is a job well done and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for Celine once the dust settles.

[minolli]

Jumping in a bit late to the game, but just wanted to share some thoughts after watching the doc yesterday evening. I've been a devoted Céline supporter since 1996, so I knew I would be an emotional wreck. I was in tears within the first 30 seconds. What a gift she has given us by sharing her talent so willingly for so many years. What a heartbreak to see even a glimpse of what it has been like for her to feel that she has lost that part of herself. Sure, there are some quibbles (inexplicable archive choices mostly), but I found the documentary to be incredibly moving. (That closing footage of her on stage at l'Olympia! ) A few of my takeaways...

• Who do we need to talk to about having them open that warehouse for public tours? What a dream that would be! It was so fun to spot items and quiz myself on when they were worn/used.
  
• My impression of the John Farnham bit, which, yes, was unnecessarily lengthy, was that it was showing that she was still doing what she could to engage in the world by participating in the JF documentary, while also as showing how enthusiastic she continues to be about artists/songs/performances that touch her. I especially loved her reaction to watching herself perform "You're the Voice." She so clearly loves being on stage.
  
• It was so charming and humanizing to see her at home, interacting with the twins, and doing a lot of the "normal," quotidian things that we all do. Would have loved even more of this.
  
• I know that the pandemic played into it, but there was such a striking loneliness in all of it. The juxtaposition of footage of being surrounded by and celebrating with her entire family compared to the solitude that she was in during the filming is striking.
  
• Of course she has so many people helping her and supporting her, but I couldn't shake the feeling of "but who is taking care of her?" I think maybe I felt that more in an emotional sense than physical? I am not quite sure how to articulate it. That said, her internal determination and reslience is incredible.
  
• It's a shame that Amazon hadn't worked some magic to have an entire catalog of Céline content available for viewers. After finishing the doc, how many people then think, "wow, I want to see more of her performances!" If there was a whole hub of archival concerts, even those that are more readily avaiable (ACDS, Live à Paris, TCWT, etc.) that immediately showed up as recommended content, that would have been great (yes, I know that some of this is available on the platform through add-on purchases). And selfishly, it would have been even better if they'd done some releases of remastered or never-before-seen shows (Live in Memphis/archival FIY tour concert, the second Las Vegas residency, countless of other gems that are surely hidden in the vaults, etc.) I know it's nothing new to say it, but there is such a thirst among us die-hards for high quality releases of so much stuff that we know exists. Her legacy should be celebrated by making more of this available!
  
• I know it's unlikely, but the documentary deserves a thoughtful, comprehensive physical release. I hate the idea of it only being available in such an ephemeral format as a streaming platform. (I did a month-long Céline career retrospective leading up to the doc, and realized how spoiled we were with the DVD releases of A New Day... and its accompanying bonus features, TTEOTW, and TCWT in such relatively quick succession.)

Anyway, all this to say that it's both wrenching to see what she has been dealing with in private for so long, but also heartening that she has been more visible and rightfully celebrated over the last few weeks.

I want to say this was her Summerlin home that sold for $30 million. I swear, someone shared an IG reel of a worker, putting the finishing touches on a home that was supposedly hers. I remember it because it had a bowling alley in it!

If we can find it, we could probably confirm if it was her house

I heard that she never actually moved into her summerlin home… they ended up selling it before she moved in. I wonder if her Henderson home has a recording studio in it now.

Makes sense if the crisis scenes were filmed there since it really did look bare with very few furnishing. A hunch of mine was they used that space to separate her work/health issues from the world, including her kids. which makes sense when you think of it.

Regarding her Lake Las Vegas house, I'd be curious about that too but, I wonder where they would've put it in a 3 bedroom house. (that's what they say but its got to be a bit bigger right?) Its a pretty simple house (in celebrity standards) so unless they converted part of the garage or added another level, I wonder where it would go?

The lake Las Vegas home had a complete renovation in 2011 if I’m not mistaken… I heard it was totally revamped and made much larger. Same property lot but essentially a brand new home from the 3 bedroom home we saw on Oprah in 2003. That’s why in 3 boys and brand new show we saw Celine and her family lived in a Caesar’s palace pent house for a little while until the renovation was completed, since it wasn’t done in time at the start of her second residency “Celine”.
