Surprisingly brilliant and moving!

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2020)

Not sure what my expectations were going into this movie, but I know I didn't expect to spend time on a review afterwards and give it 9/10! This is a warm, funny movie that takes hold of you and brings you on a wonderful and amazingly entertaining ride throughout its 2 hour plus runtime.
Eurovision is huge in my home country of Sweden but I've never been one of the competition's biggest fans, quite the opposite. This movie reminded me of what the competition is about; fun, over-the-top extravaganza and silliness, but also a lot of heart. Me and my wife laughed, teared up multiple times and we absolutely loved the whole thing!
The music (the MUSIC!!) is exceptionally well written and performed and fits the setting perfectly. I'm listening to the soundtrack as I'm writing this... And this from a guy who normally listens to techno and house and avoids current pop music and eurovision like the plague. Congratulations Ferrell and gang, you really delivered something special here.
Lots of love :)
