Featured reviews
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.
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.

For me, a documentary is all about being raw and authentic. This is the definition of a documentary!
It is so sad to watch a person with a fire inside her, but she can't do what she wants. Imagine being thirsty and you are in a desert with no water, it's like dying. SPS is pure hell. I feel so sorry for Celine and the struggle and pain she is going through.
You can feel through the screen that she wants to sing but can't. The fact that she can't sing like she used to due to SPS is heartbreaking. The whole situation going on with Celine is heartbreaking.
But, we should not forget that other people around the world are suffering from SPS too, and going through the same pain and struggles. We shall also not forget that Celine has an amazing team around her. Her team is helping her and trying to make this difficult journey as easy as possible for her. The fact that she is rich enough to afford a team that will take care of her and make sure that she has everything she needs is worth a lot. It doesn't take away the pain of course or the struggle but it takes away a little bit of the worry for her about money or healthcare issues or whatever issue.
Imagine being a normal person with a normal income and dealing with SPS.
Celine should be happy she has the financial security to deal with this. It helps and is comforting In some ways.
At least she doesn't have to worry about certain things while dealing with this SPS.
Anyhow this documentary was amazing and it give us a view of how it is to live with SPS. How devastating it is.
It's like being in a prison of some sort. You try to escape this prison but can't. I feel SPS is like a prison sentence of some sort.
I'm glad she felt comfortable enough to be herself in this documentary. To educate and raise awareness about SPS.
She is a brave woman! She is truly amazing and has done amazing things in life. I'm glad she felt comfortable enough to show this side of her and her life.
100% a must-watch for sure!

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.

It's sad to see some of these negative reviews and some people's blatant jealousy and pettiness towards this woman's lifestyle. These reviewers don't realize that their reviews are more of a reflection of themselves than the thing they are reviewing. Celine lives in a mansion and has a very privileged life; you knew this going into the documentary. She's Celine Dion. Were you expecting her lifestyle to be relatable?
This is a raw documentary that focuses on her illness and her passion for music which is clearly displayed in this project. Would you be able to expose yourself the way she did: having a crippling seizure for the world to see, breaking down in tears because your career, your passion and very life is at risk of being destroyed? She worked hard for her wealth-30+ years. If she lived in a small townhouse and furnished her house with furniture from Target would that make you feel better? Sad, sad people.
