I couldn't stand it in one viewing (on TV), I had to watch its halves separately, out of mere curiosity and amazement. Not to mention the extremely dubious CGI of Ms. Lemercier as a young girl, this movie is choke-full of clichés almost to the point of ridicule.
It has all the necessary bland lines and situations to be checked in any lame fictionalized ascension of a human canary from rags to riches. It's like an involuntary comedy, or a hidden spoof, not just of Céline Dion, but of all biopics with a musical subject theme.
Is Ms. Lemercier such a big star to be allowed to do anything? Speaking of fictionalized biopics, 'Walk Hard' is incomparably better than this forgettable flick because it's a honest spoof with real humor, be it low brow.
Oh, and by the way, to add blasphemy to cringe, the heroine's name Dieu means God in French.
