Critics Consensus

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga contains inspired ingredients and laugh-out-loud moments, but they're outnumbered by the flat stretches in this overlong comedy.

I enjoy Will Ferrell in nearly everything he does. He makes silly so funny and portrays characters that I have to root for. It was fun learning about the Eurovision Song Contest.

I like weird movies you shouldn't like yet I truly love this entire movie. I liked the characters even though they are extreme version of humans. I loved the songs that are still stuck in my head till this day.

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

It's exactly as silly and outlandish as it needs to be, while still paying sincere respect to one of Europe's great cultural quirks.

Rated: 3/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Not a film so much as two hours of lump-free, vaguely film-like audiovisual paste.

Rated: 1/5

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

Dobkin's film is impressively self-aware and hugely respectful of its subject. Expect hilarity, high camp and the usual Ferrell silliness.

Rated: 4/5

Cory Woodroof

For the Win (USA Today)

A pleasant surprise during the COVID-19 pandemic, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga felt like one of the films from Ferrell’s absurdly good 2000s run.

Maia Rose

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Full of original bops and gorgeous scenery, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is sweet and uplifting and everything Pitch Perfect 3 wished it could’ve been.

Rated: 8/10

Flick Feast

Much like the contest itself, one might go into the film full of scorn and scepticism. However it is nigh-on impossible not to be swept up in the sheer enthusiasm it has for its subject.

Rated: 3/5
