Review of Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) by Nikop0L — 10 Jul 2020

I think you may have to be fan or potential fan of Eurovision to proper enjoy this movie. Its riddled with references on Eurovision that fans will highly appreciate, but will fly past anyone else. Oh, and this is part musical with its highest peaks being the songs so if you dont enjoy those, you will not enjoy the movie and should spare yourself time watching it. The weakest part of this film was, ironically, its main lead and head behind Will Farrell together with the often very thin plot that served as plot-progressing device (basically Farrall character keep screwing up, then fixing it just to screw up again), plus his acting faded in comparision with other two leads. Strongest points are Rachel McAdams who played the role of Sigrit absolutely great and Dan Stevens who crushed it and of course the musical numbers, especially performed by Molly Sandén who sang as Sigrid and Erik Mjönes taking on voice of Alexander Lemtov.

Importantly movie has multiple scenes where it hates on American tourists, which automatically brings my rating from 7 to 8.
