‘I Am: Celine Dion’ Review: A Raw And Gut-Wrenching Documentary Reveals A Music Superstar Through Her Most Challenging Physical Trauma
A review of 'I AM: CELINE DION' which chronicles the career and struggles of the star as she faces a rare and incurable disease but remains hopeful
The director had done many Emmy winning and Oscar nominated movies about Boy Scouts to trees to deafness to Polio, but nothing in this realm, and it certainly has turned into a film it did not start out to be, that neither expected, but now will be shared with the world when it premieres on Prime Video June 25. In a way watching I AM: CELINE DION I thought of those films about great female stars who overcame the odds and persevered to return to glory in their extraordinary musical careers, a story made for a Hollywood ending. The difference here is in using the documentary format, allowing unfettered access, and in showing life as it happens in unexpected moments, Dion’s story is still being written, her “triumphant” Hollywood comeback still a work in progress, at best, as she invites us into her struggles, her hopes, her optimism, and her heartbreaks with no artifice in sight.
