Critics' reviews

"[It] is like a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch (...) that’s been stretched out, for no reason at all, to two hours (...) In reality, it’s a badly shot one-joke movie that sits there and goes thud"

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"Surely there are worse ways to spend time than with Ferrell (...) I can’t help feeling that there isn’t nearly enough of it, and that the actor just isn’t trying very hard (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Michael O'Sullivan: The Washington Post
"Even the weak jokes land (...) 'Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga' might be the most emotionally engaging movie Will Ferrell has ever made."

Bilge Ebiri: Vulture
"Much to enjoy but much more to be desired (...) The filmmakers could have condensed all the messy plot padding and just harnessed the excitement of the show"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's a relief to see entertainment that's big and earnest, silly and fabulous and unconcerned with looking cool as 'cool' is considered right now."

Richard Lawson: Vanity Fair
"The biggest issue with 'The Story of Fire Saga' is that most of it is just too limp and anodyne to register"

David Ehrlich: IndieWire
"[It] is sincere and heartwarming and while the comedy notes fall a little flat in places there’s enough mirth to make up for it"
