Combining fiction and documentary, the film follows the ABBA Australian tour, and the efforts of a poor local journalist trying to get an interview with the band. Never mind the silly plotline; the truest moments of exaltation are experienced on stage with Frida, Agnetha, Benny and Björn.

Critiques (1)
ABBA's music was a big part of my childhood, and I associated this film with their best songs. However, to be honest, the film offers nothing beyond those songs. The script is weak, and the story is almost non-existent, serving only as a flimsy bridge between musical numbers. For a documentary, it is too staged. Overall impression: 40%.
