The Film Stage Jose Solís

Apr 8, 2022

Although Lemercier isn’t a Dion doppelgänger, in the scenes where she lip syncs and moves to Dion’s tunes, she embodies that divinely picaresque energy Dion radiates. And just like a TikTok rabbit hole of Dion challenges, it’s impossible to take your eyes off her. Read full review

Watch it sincerely or as a curiosity; at least you know you won't forget it. Read full review

Alison Willmore

More than anything, Aline feels like a kamikaze act of wish fulfillment, wildly indulgent but so deeply committed to what it’s doing that it can’t help but be compelling. Read full review

The movie’s passion is incredible — but, boy, is it embodied in something awkward. Read full review

Siddhant Adlakha

Apr 8, 2022

A deeply misguided act of worship, it starts out as a hilariously bizarre showreel of strange visual effects, before devolving into a distant, disconnected retelling of the highlights of Dion’s life. Read full review

Ferdosa Abdi

Apr 13, 2022

The result is a baffling and confounding mess that is either intended to make audiences laugh or is dead-serious in its pursuit. Whatever the intention, it is up to viewers to decipher what is most true to them. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Lemercier’s weirdly grinning, gurning face superimposed on the child’s head creates an unnatural chill that the film fails to shrug off, even after Aline as an adult is supposed to be glammed up with her teeth fixed. Read full review

The movie states right up front that this is a fictional story inspired by the life of Céline Dion. Valérie Lemercier co-wrote, directed and stars as the singer.

This includesThe movie states right up front that this is a fictional story inspired by the life of Céline Dion. Valérie Lemercier co-wrote, directed and stars as the singer. She portrays her from childhood in Quebec (thanks to weird digital adjustments) to superstardom in Vegas and beyond. This includes some of her most famous songs, performed by Victoria Sio. I've never been a big Dion fan, so I can't speak to the veracity of the bio, but it covers the highlights that I was familiar with, including her controversial marriage to her much older manager and the Oscar performance for the hit from Titanic. Lemercier is able enough, but the whole story feels like a Wikipedia account without much emotional depth, even with her struggles. It's not clear whether the singer's fans will abhor or appreciate this film and since it's not an authorized biography, any other viewers may not even care. As such, it's more a curiosity as a vanity project for Lemercier, not Dion. (Some French with subtitles)… Expand

Is it possible to appreciate a semi-biopic about a singer one doesn't admire directed by who, on the contrary, adore her so much to deify her surname (Dion=>Dieu) and even play her role? The almost Céline, vocal range of 3 octaves and 3 notes, is an ordinary girl from Canada(Mauro Lanari)
Is it possible to appreciate a semi-biopic about a singer one doesn't admire directed by who, on the contrary, adore her so much to deify her surname (Dion=>Dieu) and even play her role? The almost Céline, vocal range of 3 octaves and 3 notes, is an ordinary girl from Canada French (Quebec) with whom ordinary girls from half the planet identify making her an international pop star (of I do not know what songs: the Oscar for the main theme of "Titanic"? Meh) with an estimated assets of $ 450 million ("Forbes" 2019), the third richest female musical artist in the world. Neither comedy nor passionate and exciting drama, but in these cases those who watch the movie are the same audience that goes to a concert with the Whitney Houston hologram. Ps: on the other side, if a star were not deified, what diva would she be?… Expand
