Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

It's exactly as silly and outlandish as it needs to be, while still paying sincere respect to one of Europe's great cultural quirks.

Not a film so much as two hours of lump-free, vaguely film-like audiovisual paste.

Dobkin's film is impressively self-aware and hugely respectful of its subject. Expect hilarity, high camp and the usual Ferrell silliness.

Will Ferrell is his goofy, outsized self but Rachel McAdams brings a charming sweetness to this delightfully silly comedy.

[A] high-concept, low-brow romantic comedy that overstays its welcome by at least a half-hour and can't decide whether it wants to buy into or satirize the incomprehensibly popular European singing contest.

Eurovision Song Contest is filled with lavish and often hilarious production numbers...

A pleasant surprise during the COVID-19 pandemic, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga felt like one of the films from Ferrell’s absurdly good 2000s run.



Full of original bops and gorgeous scenery, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is sweet and uplifting and everything Pitch Perfect 3 wished it could’ve been.

Much like the contest itself, one might go into the film full of scorn and scepticism. However it is nigh-on impossible not to be swept up in the sheer enthusiasm it has for its subject.

Will Ferrells latest foray, this time into the flamboyant intrigue of the Eurovision Song Contest, falls strangely flat.
