The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinApr 21, 2022
It’s a very tolerable watch, if somewhat interminable and rather lacking in proper drama. But perhaps that’s just what an audience of hardened Dion fans would want from a viewing. Read full review

Film ThreatChris SalceApr 8, 2022
Aline has quite a few things to praise, but the bio-pic overall feels like a slight step up from a made-for-television film when it comes down to it. Read full review

Original-CinJim SlotekFeb 2, 2022
Esthetically perched somewhere between a low-budget TV biopic and a soap opera - with occasional flourishes of bonkers-cheesiness worthy of cult status - Aline is the Celine Dion hagiography no one could have dreamed up except its director. Read full review

It’s not that I wish Aline took more advantage of its fictional liberties to mock or undermine Céline Dion.

Beyond Aline’s visual incongruities, there’s a problem with is its choice of focus. Read full review

Screen RantFerdosa AbdiApr 13, 2022
The result is a baffling and confounding mess that is either intended to make audiences laugh or is dead-serious in its pursuit. Whatever the intention, it is up to viewers to decipher what is most true to them. Read full review
