Featured reviews
After watching this documentary, I was deeply moved and saw a more genuine side of Celine Dion. Her dedication, persistence, and hard work have earned her the success she enjoys today.
However, seeing the ending left me feeling somewhat distressed. In fact, I believe there is nothing more precious than a healthy life. If Celine ever has the chance to read this comment, I just hope she takes care of her health and doesn't overexert herself by insisting on continuing to sing. Perhaps it's better to say, I am convinced that even if she just walked on stage to say hello, countless fans from over the years would still buy tickets to see her.

I'm speechless how open she is. But I also can relate. Around 5 years ago I started lost my senses in my limbs and was diagnosed with a spine condition. As an ex-athlete it was - and still is difficult to accept that the best days are behind and the passion that kept me going is gone.
Nobody's immune to fate. She's and always will be a true Diva, with a wonderful voice and personality.
I enjoyed seeing backstage footages, she's just being at home, her open personality about her illness and life. And the fact that she is aging gracefully, no make up. Just her at home talking about her passion and struggles.
Celine, show or not - you are loved. It's hard not to feel "guilty" when we have a good day. But try to enjoy it without being hard on yourself.

This documentary will hit you hard with reality. Irene Taylor did an amazing job showcasing, chronologically, what Celine Dion has gone through over the years,concert by concert. A few snippets of HD footage are mixed with raw versions of makeup-free Celine struggling. For the 911 scene, bring tissues because, in the end, its about a human trying.to continue her dream of returning to the stage. Celine, your heart will go on forever. We are here not for the apples., but for the tree.
My most favourite part was the home made scenes and the family interaction. Extremely recommended to watch in Amazon Prime.

I am not a Celine Dion's fan, but I must admit that she is a tremendous singer, and since so many decades now.... She was helped a long time ago by her husband, René Angeli, who discovered her and found contracts for her. But besides this, she made herself. She has always been very dedicated to her passion, singing. Her closest family is her fans. And seeing her in such a physical and psychological distress, is really painful for everyone, even the non fans as me. So, imagine the genuine, die hard fans.... To watch the pain of this poor Celine is a pure torture for anyone, unless being cold hearted. Seeing poor Celine trying to sing, with the "broken" voice and then crying in front of the camera was too much for me. I prefer a torture sequence in a fiction stuff. I sincerely hope she will make it against this awful disease.

When you sit down to watch this, have a box of tissues ready. This is one of the most beautiful, genuine, raw and heartbreaking documentaries I've seen on a real icon.
Over the past decade or so we have had hours and hours of fake "reality" TV and documentaries produced. They are scripted, staged, not a wrinkle seen or an hair out of place, where everything is a "drama." Think the Kardashians.
This documentary is real, and honest. Céline Dion comes across down to earth and very self aware.
I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I can't deny her talent, and how her illness is affecting her life and family.
