The Film StageJose SolísApr 8, 2022
Although Lemercier isn’t a Dion doppelgänger, in the scenes where she lip syncs and moves to Dion’s tunes, she embodies that divinely picaresque energy Dion radiates. And just like a TikTok rabbit hole of Dion challenges, it’s impossible to take your eyes off her. Read full review

IndieWireJude DryApr 7, 2022
Surprisingly funny, well-acted, and a little offbeat, Aline is as delightfully kooky as its monumental subject. Read full review

TheWrapAlonso DuraldeApr 6, 2022
It fills up the uncharted territory between parody and pure fan service with a guileless weirdness that the biopic genre never knew it could accommodate but, in a post–“Walk Hard” world, could stand to emulate. Read full review

Watch it sincerely or as a curiosity; at least you know you won't forget it. Read full review

Paste MagazineSydney UrbanekApr 5, 2022
Lemercier’s film is worth seeing at least once, regardless of your existing familiarity with (or even interest in) Dion. It never lampoons her, but rather taps into the heart of her appeal as a public figure…which, talent aside, just so happens to come back to her kookiness. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzFeb 10, 2022
Most impressively, Lemercier manages to make Dion/Aline’s not-terribly-dramatic hardships – she has trouble conceiving with her husband, she misses her family while on the road, she feels exhausted by her Las Vegas schedule – feel relatable and compelling. Part of that is Lemercier’s full-throttle commitment to the bit. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreApr 8, 2022
More than anything, Aline feels like a kamikaze act of wish fulfillment, wildly indulgent but so deeply committed to what it’s doing that it can’t help but be compelling. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleApr 7, 2022
Like a lush ballad that’s somehow both off-key and in total harmony, it’s unlike anything else out there, and certainly more interesting in its swings and misses than a lot of the machine-stamped celebrity biopics littering the movie landscape these days. Read full review

Vanity FairRichard LawsonApr 8, 2022
There is a chance that much more of Aline is played for comedy than I realize; perhaps the jolts of revulsion and fascination are meant to resolve into a giddy laugh. But the film doesn’t really wink to let us in on the joke, except perhaps for one scene that puts a full, slo-mo view on the results of this experiment. Read full review

The unbridled mess that is Aline is just off-kilter enough to warrant a look, no matter how well you know Céline Dion. Read full review
