In this episode of Sweater Weather, Aaron and Naomi discuss the documentary I Am: Celine Dion (2024), which is available on Amazon Prime. They explore Celine's image, her massive success, and her corny yet undeniably popular style. The documentary itself focuses on Celine's current battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, including an impactful scene of her having a seizure, a symptom of her SPS. However, the documentary steers clear of anything potentially problematic, especially regarding her controversial marriage with Rene Angelil. Aaron and Naomi analyze this approach, comparing it to more journalistic documentaries and question the trend of celebrities creating documentaries about themselves. They discuss vulnerability being used as a strategic move in such a self portrayal, but they also recognize Celine's authentic charm and personality shining through. Overall, Aaron and Naomi enjoyed the documentary and found themselves with a new-found appreciation for the person (if not the music) of Celine Dion.
