Goofs:

Anachronisms: The song 'I Feel Too Much' was used when she hadn't recorded it yet. It was on her 'Unison' album, released in 1990. In the movie they play it when she's 18. But, at 18, she had just returned from her break, and had recorded new edgier songs in French with Luc Plamondon's help.

A film that must be avoided -- AT ALL TIMES. This is not a joke.

Dreadful, horrible, embarrassing to watch, bad (not even funny bad), chronologically incorrect, the actors' performances are much worse than terrible (the film reminded me of a Mexican-dubbed soap opera), there's no mention of important events in both her life and career (the death of her niece Karine, who died in Celine's arms; her father's death; winning Academy Awards in 1992 and 1998, and so on). Elaborating on these points would be, in fact, pointless. Additionally, I'm ashamed to actually say that I watched such an awful film. The ONLY good thing about this film, is that Christine Ghawi does, to some extent, look like Celine Dion. Personally, I cannot see the reason of this film's being. And that's saying a lot, taking into account that I'm a Celine Dion fan.
