Eurovision Treat

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2020)

Of all films which you would perhaps not expect to like, this one is an unexpected treat. Moreover, the power behind it is an American in Will Ferrell. Then add that wonderful Canadian actress, Rachel McAdams - both coming at this subject matter from 'left field'.
At the start you think to yourself "is this film for me", but it then draws you in, such that by the end you become totally engrossed. This is thanks in large part to the Ferrell script but in even greater part to McAdams playing a difficult role to perfection. What a great performer she is.
No small amount of credit is also due to the effects department - the hamster-wheel scene is both hysterical and brilliant. Oh, and the music throughout is both so Eurovision and yet great to listen to.
Well done all involved.
