Her powerful and emotional voice captivates everyone who hears it, including successful manager Guy-Claude Kamar, who resolves to do everything in his power to make her a star. As Aline climbs from local phenomenon to bestselling recording artist to international superstar, she embarks on the two great romances of her life: one with the decades-older Guy-Claude and the other with her adoring audiences. Two-time César Award winner Valérie Lemercier plays Aline from ages five to 50 in a fictional musical dramedy freely inspired by the life of Celine Dion.

Critics Consensus

An unforgettable blend of the conventional and the singularly strange, Aline is definitely odd, but it's also oddly entertaining.

I really enjoyed learning about Celine Dion's life and career. I am a fan of her music, but I didn't know anything about her beyond the tabloid headlines about her marriage to her much-older husband. I thought this was a believable and sensitive portrayal of not just a superstar but a woman, mom, sister, and daughter.

Extraordinaria forma de la directora presentar la historia de Celine, aunque no me gustó que hiciera de niña, si hizo un excelente trabajo como Celine adulta. Muy acertado los vestuarios, sucesos históricos y personalidad de Céline.

Overall, while Aline tells an uplifting journey with fun, quirky or romantic moments, it also has moments that are forced and cliché. The pacing is significantly up and down, radically changing from something exciting to something that's dull and predictable. The choice to use an adult head for the younger portion of the back story in the first act is also an unwise choice. Considering the film is an unofficial biopic of the life of Celine Dion, I hoped for something far more touching and heartfelt.

C'est caricatural, Aline l'a crissement pas comme actrice en bon joual, c'est zéro crédible quand elle essaie de parler notre belle langue française du Québec. Une chance que les acteurs secondaires sont des Québécois, ça permet au film d'être au minimum correct, car sinon, ce serait un des pires navets que j'ai vus depuis un méchant bout!

Totalement grotesque et manque de crédibilité ! Ça ne leur tentait pas de faire jouer le rôle de Céline, enfant, oh désolé, Aline, par une vraie enfant. Une préménopausée qui joue le rôle d'une enfant, ça fait vraiment tordu !!! Vraiment mais vraiment « creepy » comme film !!!!!!

There are no insights here, only lavishly budgeted cosplay.

Hollywood Reporter

Initially strange, then mildly amusing, and eventually just kind of whatever, Francophone musical success story Aline is the very definition of neither one thing nor the other.

There's a lot of affection in this portrayal... I wish it had stuck with the strength of its initial weird convictions throughout, though.

Loud and Clear Reviews

Aline is a biopic freely inspired by the life of Celine Dion that’s, in most cases, on the brink of becoming an intentional farce.

Rated: 2.5/5

Gawker

Aline is the Goldschläger of musical biopics: unappetizing and decadent in all the wrong ways, but too absurd to not sample once.

The Film Experience

Aline is a conundrum and a contradiction. More than any other recent biopic, Aline soldiers through all of the cliches and plot devices we’ve seen repeated ad nauseum. Yet, there’s a bizarre core that spins every scene on the axis.
