Celine Dion smiling without makeup in a still from 'I Am: Celine Dion'.
The Big Picture The voice of a generation, Celine Dion has graced the music and film industries in equal measure, singing award-winning ballads like Titanic's theme song "My Heart Will Go On" and "The Power of Love." With a career that spans over four decades, Dion's greatest wish has always been to sing on stage for millions of people. Yet her present-day circumstances have led her to abstain from her life's main conductor: her vocals.
Director Irene Taylor Calls the Shots, But It Is Dion That Commands the Story Close Although Taylor is the person behind the camera calling the shots, boldly zooming in on the subject even in moments that feel too invasive to record, the artist takes full ownership of her story. Through her perspective alone, without loved ones chiming in to share their thoughts and feelings, the film bounces between the before and the after.
Although the decision to have Dion helming the documentary makes it an intimate viewing, especially when she dives into memories of concerts and epic fashion looks, it also restricts the film from having the insight of staff that are playing a major role in her treatment. Despite them working with her on a daily basis on her path to recovery, there are only a few instances where a physician explains the medical implications of her disorder while talking to her.
