Pleasant

Shania Twain's story in her own words was nice to see. We saw her humble beginnings, courage and resilience. I grew up listening to her wonderful music. It was catchy, melodious and sung beautifully. She truly is a music icon. I learnt some new things about the music icon and some of the struggles she overcame. She hasn't lost her simple and down to earth nature despite her enormous success. I was unaware she had Lyme disease which affected her unique voice and had such an impact on her life. It took courage for her to make a comeback with the help of her friends. She seems like a wonderful person and it was pleasant watching her tell her own story.

A concise walk through Shania Twain's professional career, with some bits that didn't belong

All I knew of Shania Twain was that when I was a hormonal teen she looked amazing and she teased me with that You Don't Impress Me Much song. I liked her songs, but I would never have considered myself a fan. This documentary starts from her humble beginnings, goes through her explosive years, approaches the great trauma that she experienced immediately after and comes out at the same time as a compilation album from 2022 containing a new track as well.

Is she making a comeback? I don't know. It certainly feels too late, but then again, you never know.

This was a very informative film, although not one that made me feel closer to the person. It was heartbreaking to hear about how Lyme disease derailed her entire life, but after watching the documentary I don't feel I understand Shania more, only that I know a lot more about her. Other than that, it was a good documentary.

I hated the talking heads who were trying to slap their political agenda on Twain's career, even after she herself said she only wanted to express her personality, not enter in some political piss contest. Personally I admire her steadfastness and I do feel like she is a decent human being. She was a true feminist before it was fashionable, and did it leading by example, not by pushing talking points in unrelated conversations. Unfortunately, that's exactly how those few minutes of slap-on social agenda bits feel, completely out of place and annoying as hell.

Bottom line: ignore the talking heads and focus on the story and you will get to admire Shania Twain more.
