Review
"... you can't help but be impressed by this fascinating portrait of a superstar trying very hard to keep her feet on earth while her career keeps soaring ever upward." --
The Toronto Star"...whether frolicking with admirers in Johannesburg or accepting France's Legion of Honor metal in Paris, wowing throngs or greeting a sick child backstage, she (Celine) emerges as a paragon of greatness and goodness...Celine's film tour de force" --
USA Today"Celine is the James Brown of her generation -- the hardest working woman in show business." - --
Globe & Mail"Celine: Through the Eyes of the World a must-see... Dion's goal was for her world to remain human, real and authentic. Mission accomplished." --
Le Journal de MontrealThe movie "... does more than highlight her performances during her last world tour, it also allows fans rare glimpses of her offstage life. The documentary shows Dion as a goofy jokester, a doting mother, a tender wife, a wide-eyed tourist, a devoted daughter and more. The cameras tag along for intimate moments the superstar is happy to share with fans." --
