Bonkers and Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2020)

As a Eurovision fan, you often struggle to know when you can reveal such a secret with new people. If you're a Fan you love everything about it, if you're a part time watcher, you remember the silliness but forget the sublime!
On hearing the announcement I felt the same trepidation. But this film manages in 2 hours to show exactly what it is I love about Eurovision.
From the moment we hear the first bar of Waterloo, to seeing the smile on the sad young boy's face, to seeing the Duo stepping onto the stage for their first performance, you are filled with Hope and a desire to see them succeed.
The film takes you on the ups and downs as you would expect in a very similar way to Blades of Glory does. Every chance they have to succeed they fluff it all whilst being laughed at. Then you get to the very end, when they get it right and he mutters what will become immortal words, "Eurovision is much more than a competition, The music is not a contest, and the perfect song isn't the winning song, but a song that comes from the heart!"
It is Bonkers and Beautiful and I absolutely loved it!
