Aline (II) (2020)
8/10
Pleasantly surprised!
15 September 2022
I was expecting so much worst. I actually enjoyed it and I think it's a nice hommage to Céline Dion work and career! Some bits are a bit folkloric, exactly what you would expect from what the French think of Québec, "ma cabane au Canada". It would of been even better if the local accent was better. It was fast paced and Valérie Lemercier did a good job, even as some mentioned, playing a 12 years old girl is a bit strange. I found some funny parts too, only locals would know, like when talking about Ginette Reno and that local reporter Mme Lévesque. It is not meant to be a biopic so all the people that write that it's not accurate and so on, just stop watching! The choice of music was good too. As a local Montréaler we kind of grew up along with Céline so it was nice to hear and a nice reminder of all of her so many successes both in French and in English! Overall 2 thumbs up and it's an easy 2 hours to go.
