Fyre offers an entertaining and intriguing look into one of the 2010s' most notorious events. As a film, Fyre is engrossing. As a documentary, it elevates awareness of the event and brings the personal cost to normal, working class vendors and influencers to light. I would definitely watch this again.

A good doco on the mess that was the Fyre festival. Did have a good chuckle about some of the people getting scammed by a post from a C grade celebrity on instagram though.

This documentary shows how greed and criminal energy will screw those who are hard working and at least partially honest. After watching this documentary I was thinking by myself: "Why on earth haven't he just launched a series of parties (like the promo shot) with all those spoiled rich kids and gather a metric ton of money for charging extraordinary amounts for entry and drinks…" What could have been more portrayed throughout the doc, are the Bahamian people who got screwed over. Which brings me to the next point: where is is solidarity with those poor souls?

Well entertaining, would have been 10/10 enjoyable if I didn't feel so sorry for the staff from Exuma.

How real is what we see on social media? Well, you didn't already know that answers, after watching this film you'll know that social media is FULL of fake personalities pulling in gullible dupes. "Fire" presents a fascinating behind the scenes look at the creation, selling, and rollout of the infamous Fyre music festival. The audience knows from the start of the impending disaster, but it is an absolute train wreck you can't turn away from. There are pretty much red flags everywhere it was not going to end well and that it was all smoke and mirrors. What was being sold to on social media to trick "influencers" and other dupes into buying expensive tickets for the sham festival showed a completely different reality. That's the subtext of the film, the phoniness of social media and its vapid "influencers." Overall, this is a fun Netflix documentary from Chris Smith, the director of "American Movie" (a must see if you haven't seen it) and producer of "Tiger King," that is well worth checking out.

Netflix's Fyre documentary has everything you wanted to see and know with much more.

A great (real) story that is absurd to hear, about a party with a lot of promises, but what turned out to be disaster. Interesting thing are being said from a bunch of people responsible for this. Absolute Must See!

Well done documentary, definitely worth the watch.

didn't know of Fyre before this documentary. The story is unbelievable, yet it has happened.

I don't understand why others like this documentary. I am someone who watches documentaries constantly, and while most are around violent crimes rather than civil crimes I still can enjoy a good fish documentary here and there. Fyre Fraud on Netflix however is the worst documentary I have ever watched.its so repetitive and has no real point or plot besides its a giant fraud. like ok? you have said that a lot already. I can't seem to find anyone with the same opinion as me. point is hate this documentary

One of the funniest documentaries I've ever watched

This documentary was really interesting and I'm not really a big music person but this is too good, the drama and what's going through the people's minds and actually buying a ticket for this event is crazy to me. I had a fun time with it even though it sucks for all the people who actually went and created this event.

I don't usually watch documentaries simply because I think that they can sometimes get really really boring. I would rather watch one of my 온라인카지노추천 shows or a good movie. But this one is different. It's fast-paced style and editing is so good that it keeps you hooked until the end, and it makes the story so interesting that you are actually invested in it. This documentary does a great job showing the power of social media and the impact that it can have on normal people. It showed us the great concept that the Fyre Festival was supposed to be and then what it turned out to be. It still boggles my mind that they thought they could fit 10,000 people including luxury "villas" and houses onto a tiny island in the Bahamas WITH ONLY 2 MONTHS TO PLAN AND BUILD EVERYTHING. I seriously wonder that if they had a year or more to actually plan this festival, then maybe they could have actually had the greatest party that never happened. But that still would not help the company's inevitable corruption due to Billy's false claims. Anyway, this is probably the best documentary I've ever seen and it's definitely a must watch. I haven't watched the Hulu one yet but from what I've seen on reviews this (Netflix's Fyre) is the one to watch.

Fake it till you make it The Movie What a fascinating story, hope justice can be made.

While I'm sure the people in these films are generally sound folk, and that the camera or money brings out the worst in them, when you watch this, you can't go into it thinking that these are people. Most are characters, who are primarily motivated by money, and they represent a portion of society that you or I will never enter and it is Alice through the Looking Glass. Anyone involved in Fyre was stupid to think that they would get away with this. And the other people who were dumb enough to believe it, meet somewhere in the middle, knowing that their actions would one day appear on the screen. So it's rotten to the core - on the one hand, you have millionaires trying to get more money, and on the other, you have millionaires trying to give away their money - so it automatically becomes a tale of greed on many levels. So the synopsis for any future films should be: "Over-privileged white kids travel to an island to have a party at others' expense". That is it! That is all this is! The story, the narrative and the plot should all carry that message to potential viewers, and that is what you should take if you're going in to watch these Netflix/Hulu documentaries. Forget all the chatter, all the sales spiel, all the furore, that is it - do you want to invest your hard earned viewing time on what is on one hand, rich kids paying people to throw them a party, and on the other, a load of rich kids who couldn't organise a ---- up on an island. Oh and, considering you're here, I'm going to spoiler it for you - the dramatic highpoint will be that a middle-aged white guy goes down on a federal official to get the water to put out the whole mess of a fire (Fyre). I went into this thinking I could write a script about it! I now know it would be a waste of talent, not only because they're probably already on draft three - but because I'd have to change the location to Islar Nebula and fuse it with a re-boot of Jurassic Park. Fyre isn't a real documentary, and neither is the Hulu one - these are good anthropological studies that would share a shelf (a bottom shelf at that) with David Attenborough works to preserve our way of life. The reason I say that, is in years to come, our ancestors will watch both and wonder how we could be so stupid (for albeit, different reasons). One of the exercises I do as a writer is to look at things from a different angle - so I did. If you watch both Fyre and Fyre Fraud simultaneously (like I did), you'll see all you need to look at; a Kubrickian piece of work that will flood your every sense. If you want to see what I mean - Search Youtube: "Fyre/Fyre Fraud overview, commentary and comparison."

Awful people doing awful things under the guise of building a music festival. Would recommend.

Well worth a Watch I enjoyed this.

Simple, insightful, high-quality, well edited and suitably cringey. Probably no different than if you put on a swimsuit illustrated video side by side with an infographic about Fyre. Cant help but think there's something missing from the gloss. Maybe some grunge, some real in-fighting and found footage, I get that the tone is meant to mimic the Fyre festival tone, but a gritty expose on social media influencers and the circus that allowed all of this to actually occur, including legal loopholes and corporate interest and the reason why ordinary people and influencers would spend their money on this, could have been more entertaining.

Another fascinating investigation of hubris and sociopathy, this time revolving around the ludicrously unplanned music festival Fyre. The most interesting element is how easily suckered we all can be when we allow our doubts to be swept aside by the misplaced confidence of a hustler. Billy McFarland got his come uppance, but where is his co-conspirator Ja Rule?

A pretty interesting documentary, but it doesn't do anything new or special. Still worth a watch.
