Celine Dion's siblings slam new biopic inspired by the singer's life

"I don't recognise the language, I don't recognise my family, I don't recognise our roots," said her sister Claudette Dion., inspired by the singer's rise from child stardom to queen of soft rock and set to be released in theatres in her native Canada on Friday.

She and brother Michel Dion, who appeared as guests on the show, said the"humour misses the mark," several scenes"went too far" and they accused Valerie Lemercier, who directs and stars in the film, of wildly distorting their famous sibling's life and personality. Rene Angelil was Celine Dion's manager from 1981, when she was 12 years old and he was 38, until two years before his death in 2016. They married in 1994.

The filmmakers said then that they tweaked the star's name to Aline Dieu to give them some wriggle room over the details of her story, though claimed it hews closely to Dion's real life and songs.
