You don\u2019t become a star of her caliber without allowing the public a certain level of access to your life. In Dion\u2019s case, that has meant sharing her roots (as the youngest of 14 kids in a poor Canadian family), her loves (most notably, the soulmate-level romance with her producer and manager, Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil) and her losses (coping with her husband\u2019s passing) in countless interviews and profiles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In \u201cI Am: Celine Dion,\u201d director Irene Taylor assumes the singer\u2019s fans know all of that, dedicating no more than five minutes of her intimate feature-length documentary to such details. This isn\u2019t your standard VH1 \u201cBehind the Music\u201d special. There are no talking heads (besides Celine\u2019s), no tawdry gossip. Instead, \u201cI Am\u201d depicts the side of Dion the diva doesn\u2019t typically show: at home, sans makeup, surrounded by her kids and close-knit staff. In December 2022, Dion divulged that she was living with Stiff Person Syndrome \u2014 a rare condition most people had never heard of before, so uncommon it affects just one or two people per million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Ever since she was discovered at age 12, it\u2019s been clear that Dion was exceptional, but there could hardly be a more distressing way to be different. An expert-confounding neurological disorder, SPS starts with muscle spasms and escalates over time to crippling full-body attacks. In Dion\u2019s case, the diagnosis made her concert tour impossible and threatened to end her singing career entirely. That\u2019s pretty much the worst possible outcome for someone born with Celine\u2019s gift \u2014 and the starting point for Taylor\u2019s moving portrait.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cMy dream is to be an international star and to be able to sing all my life,\u201d a humble-confident Dion tells the camera in a taped early interview. What contemporary young TikToker doesn\u2019t ardently share that same goal? And yet, it\u2019s heartbreaking to hear, now that Celine has achieved greater success than that awkward, slightly horsey-looking teen could have possibly imagined, only to find it wrenched away by such an unfair affliction \u2014 one that deprives her of the ability to sing, every bit as cruel as Beethoven\u2019s hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Like all things Celine Dion, \u201cI Am\u201d feels intensely personal and sincere, but also managed to within an inch of its life. That doesn\u2019t mean Dion failed to give Taylor full creative control, but there\u2019s a sense the filmmaker didn\u2019t want to include anything her subject wouldn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>rove of either. Surely, it was difficult enough for Dion to let her fans see the impact of SPS on her life and her voice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    A natural entertainer (and a good-humored ham), Celine can hardly hold a conversation without bursting into song, which means it\u2019s not just her amphitheater-filling public persona that\u2019s impacted by her condition. For more than two years, she\u2019s been deprived of that outlet, while her fans have been deprived of their power-goddess, left only with an obscure-sounding diagnosis, after a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of dishonest excuses \u2014 from technical difficulties to throat and sinus infections \u2014 that now seem reasonable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Taylor presents career-spanning montages, as well as extended sequences from epic individual shows, that demonstrate how Dion gave audiences more of herself than was reasonable with each soul-resonating performance, punctuated as they were with fist-pumping, chest-thumping flourishes. So corny yet so earnest, her choreography read as elegant and angular, which made the \u201cstiff person\u201d revelation uniquely upsetting. For those who knew nothing of the disorder (which was most of us), had we been missing something that had been hidden in plain sight?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Obviously, it was Dion\u2019s voice the world loved most: a five-octave-spanning mezzo-soprano packed into a tall and impossible slender frame, belting straight from her heart. Dion already had nine French-language albums to her name when Disney tapped her to record the \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d duet. \u201cTitanic\u201d put her over the top, leading to her Las Vegas residency. On stage, Dion seemed to be singing at once to the entire arena and each and every person individually. \u201cBecause You Loved Me\u201d serves as both a tribute to Ren\u00e9 and a thank-you to her fans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cI Am\u201d features fewer of Dion\u2019s songs than you might expect, finding composer (and cellist) Redi Hasa\u2019s more meditative score a better fit than its subject\u2019s lyric ballads for the tone Taylor\u2019s aiming for \u2014 although a few, like \u201cAll by Myself,\u201d are highly effective coming from the now-widowed chanteuse. Meanwhile, Hasa\u2019s Max Richter-indebted string music lends a reflective vibe to the entire film, which unfolds slowly, at much the same pace Dion tends to speak. She\u2019s a showwoman, after all, well-practiced in priming an audience. Still, we believe her when she says the line that explains the film\u2019s title: \u201cThe person I am today\u2026 I didn\u2019t invent myself. I didn\u2019t create myself. I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    How candid is any of what Taylor captures? There are moments at home (her tastefully extravagant Vegas mansion) that are clearly unrehearsed \u2014 like anytime Celine interacts with her twin teenage sons. But Taylor shows how her life is organized: a warehouse full of her shoes, gowns and souvenirs; an obsessively neat sock drawer; a desk where Sharpie markers appear obsessively arranged. After a touching scene in which she and the twins record a get-well message for a sick team member, Celine circles back to vacuum the couch. But her humor also comes through loud and clear, both in private and on screen (as in clips with Jimmy Fallon, James Corden and Deadpool).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The word \u201cdiva\u201d \u2014 which certainly applies to Dion \u2014 often implies self-centered, even temperamental star behavior, though those aspects couldn\u2019t be farther from the personality Taylor captures. French actor-director Val\u00e9rie Lemercier\u2019s campy, respectfully fictionalized \u201cAline\u201d dug deeper into Dion\u2019s psychology, and the impact of her relationship with Ren\u00e9, whereas \u201cI Am\u201d plays more like last year\u2019s \u201cStill: A Michael J. Fox Movie.\u201d That is to say, both docs focus on their subjects\u2019 resilience, showing moments of vulnerability and pain that feel \u201ccourageous\u201d in our disability-shy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Then again, times have changed since Dion first appeared on the scene. In the \u201990s, celebrities were pressured to hide so many aspects of their personal lives, whereas today\u2019s public responds to victimization and adversity \u2014 such admissions humanize our idols. The preternaturally talented Dion is nothing like us, but Taylor\u2019s movie certainly makes her more relatable. Watching her struggle to record the title track from last year\u2019s \u201cLove Again\u201d is both upsetting and inspirational, but nothing compared to the wrenching sight of Dion experiencing a SPS attack toward the end of the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In \u201cLove Again,\u201d the megastar played herself. But in \u201cI Am,\u201d she <em>is<\/em> Celine Dion. Turns out, she\u2019s even stronger that we gave her credit for. But that\u2019s not all. Relistening to her songs in the lead-up to the documentary, I picked up on something different from the many ways she found to express romantic love \u2014 something I would describe as <em>gratitude<\/em>. That same dimension of Celine Dion\u2019s personality is reflected throughout the documentary, from the appreciation she shows her backup singers, band and staff to the way she addresses her fans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Dion doesn\u2019t seem to take anything for granted, and disability has made her all the more appreciative \u2014 to which I\u2019m sure most audiences would agree: We are, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
