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".

So there was that much extra space on the lot not used? Like I never thought had that much space out back based on the Oprah episode. Or maybe owned a second lot never use and expanded into it.

• 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.

This is what I wonder as well. It feels like after Rene died she really never had someone that could lean on or just be yourself with that you are just completely vulnerable with. Think why she shared so much with Irene it was someone could just get things off her chest with. I hope they stay in contact after all the promotion is done.

Depends how big this film gets … imagine Celine at the Oscar’s performing “Love Again” when the film gets a nod for best documentary.
Maybe I’m jumping the gun, but the song “Love Again”could actually be considered for best song now right?  Imagine it gets nominated for this film but not its namesake film LOL.

Love Again could only have been nominated for its original film.  It doesn't qualify as part of the documentary.

Do you think we can see the house of Celine that was shown in the documentary through Google Earth/Maps? Because we didn’t actually fully see the whole house. Just parts. So, I’m curious how big the lot and the house is. The question is where?

I have a feeling a lot of footage Irene took would give us a less lonely impression. But it wasn't chosen or shown. Still, the overall reality would probably be quite lonely imo.

Celine said she loves to cook, but we don't see any moment of her family all sitting down to eat together, for example. We see her make some oatmeal and that's about it as far as food goes.

Irene said that they have filmed for eight months. What we seen the doc could have really been filmed in one week. I hope there will be a longer version as a fan edition on Blu-ray. I would like to see much more.

Yeah and a lot of what we saw was like...Celine being sat down specifically for interview style stuff specifically for the cameras. Not necessarily organic footage.

Which is one of my nitpicks with the film.

In one of the interviews with Irene she said had little over 100+ hours so if you break that down over 8 months only there 12 to 15 hrs in a month. So sure all the days Celine had something specific going on Irene was there. I can see why would not show to much of her just walking around the house or even cooking as for the average viewer that would be boring. Now yes we all would love to see any and all of that.

Oh so it’s the same lot. So they just change the whole house. I like the new house. So elegant (even the furnitures) and peaceful

I'm sure that's true for many.

I have several friends who wondered what happened to her voice after listening to the Courage album.

I did too..,they seamed like simple songs on that album. No Celine-ish high or low notes.

so she didn’t move into the new house yet? I really liked the 2003 version of the house much more.

I really like the interior of the house as well.
The combo modern and antics
Very chic and much warmer than the previous ones which looked more like a catalogue.
Here it seems more personal.

And I would not mind having a better look to her paintings and photos collection !

You can the difference in the shade of the roof… two different kinds of brown… I think that’s the parts they added on.

Boring as opposed to watching her vacuum?   Incidentally there's a viral tweet right now that I agree with where they were saying even watching her make coffee was fascinating. Posted by a fan account, but it has 2k+ likes by others...which to me is not a surprise given we rarely before have seen her unfiltered in her own home.

I brought up cooking specifically because Celine mentioned she loves that during an interview, and also dinner time is usually a place of gathering/family -- and we know those moments are super important for Celine. It would've told us some more about the family dynamic. But I get the sense Irene consciously wanted to convey the loneliness she was observing in Celine's life.

Well they did have a snappy song to go with the vacuuming lol. Agree Irene very much wanted to convey her loneliness and the burden carrying all of this has been. Maybe also dinner time Irene was not there could be just there during the day and so never recorded her cooking just doing things like making oatmeal. I wish we had gotten more scenes of her life during that year.

What did you think of the scene of Celine lying by the pool listening to Maria Callas?

I knew these would go viral the minute I saw them. Reminds me of some scene studies on stage with Uta Hagen teaching actors the importance of specificity and characterization of movements. There’s so much going with Céline just by the way she moves

Only thing I could focus on is how much creamer she put in her coffee mug
I was like damn Celine, that’s a lot of cream! LOL

That was so sad. It really showed her loneliness. One review felt she was thinking of Rene. Probably thinking about all she had lost and would she ever be able to sing again and missing Rene and her mom.

How interesting that she was just listening on her phone though. She carries that thing everywhere!

Anyway, I love that scene at the end where Terrill asks “do you want an ending song” and her face just lights up like a kid in the candy store. 🥰
At the end of the day, she’s just a small-town girl obsessed with singing.

It looked like the Coffee Mate, plant based vanilla creamer.

I also loved that part… what I want to see and I hope they are filming is Celine’s vocal coach sessions, I’d love a part two one in which where we get to see the behind the scenes of Celine getting vocal rehabilitation and preparing a new show.

She went no where without that phone but isn't that all of us, lol.

Yes that was such a powerful scene. Singing just brings her so much joy. So glad she is doing better and able to do what she loves.

So it was “ending song” they must jam all the time during her sessions.
Terrill seems really sincere with Celine, which I was glad to see.

I’m literally at Loblaws (Grocery)  right now. It’s Califa Farms, unsweetened almond beverage. Incidentally if you look at the clip, you can see the white packaging in a hourglass shaped bottle, with green accents and in the bottom, there is a tree on the left.

This was literally by chance I saw this. I guess it was fate? lol

Presumably it was when she blacked out for 2 hours backstage during the second residency and they had to cancel the show. We still haven’t identified which show that was…

I vividly remember a show during the “Céline” residency where people were standing outside waiting to go in and there was a delay and Rene eventually came out and told everyone the show had been cancelled.  I wonder if this was the episode.

Also I have a question for anyone who might know.  In the documentary Céline mentioned that at times she even had to end a show, would do a quick costume change and never go back on.  When did this happen. I’ve never heard of this.

There was a concert I can’t remember when where Celine left the stage for a costume change after TSMGO for MHWGO and she never returned for the final encore in the blue dress. The show ended there when it wasn’t supposed to.

Didn’t she not abruptly end a Live 2017 show in Berlin, if I’m not mistaken or was that Bern, Switzerland.  Something rings a bell during that tour where people were complaining of a really short show but can’t quite remember.
