Great fun

Rating: 9/10 (29 June 2020)

Worth a nine for the sheer pleasure this film gives. Great fun from start to finish without being schmaltzy or kitsch and perfectly balanced. Both leads are terrific and likeable and they managed to make a film about the awfulness of the Eurovision Song Contest without making fun of it. That's what so good about it. It's about something really quite corny but you get roped in and feel for the characters and it even manages to be moving as well. It's not art but it is a wonderful, funny and enjoyable film.
