The film lands somewhere between hand-holding fan service and brutal portrait of chronic illness.

I Am: Celine Dion can be commended for how Celine Dion openly shares what her life was like shortly after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome. However, this documentary did not need so many 'greatest hits' archival clips as interruptions.

This doc was heartbreaking and warming all at the same time. Celine is an icon and beloved artist throughout the globe, and getting this rare glimpse into her life with an honest and raw story told through simple yet effective editing, you can’t help but love her even more. Fan of hers or not, this is a must see story about the human condition and spirit and power of positivity when the darkest days try to overcome you. Props to the filmmaker for capturing this story in the way she did. I hope this doc gets all of the acclaim it deserves!

Peel back the curtain and see the real life of pop superstar Céline Dion. Her battle with stiff person syndrome is nothing but inspiring. She truly wants to continue performing and singing, and does not know who she is anymore due to the ravages of this disease. Heartfelt, authentic, distressing, and honest. You will leave the theater changed.
