Fyre Reviews
indieWire
David Ehrlich
What "Fyre" loses in comprehensiveness, it makes up for in immediacy; [Chris] Smith is eager to strike while the iron is hot, but he gives us just enough breathing room to step back and make sense of what happened from a wider perspective.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
It's the perfect melding of groundwork-laying, commentary, comedy, tragedy and longform cinejournalism. It's a three-alarm indictment.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
The movie is more than a bonfire of the inanities; it's a shrewd indictment of a dream gone spectacularly, criminally wrong.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
[Fyre] is a story of shallow excess-how we're in an era in which how something looks is more important than what it actually is-but it's also a reminder that everything still has a cost.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
As Fyre makes painfully clear, just about everyone involved with the project had to have known they were tumbling down a mountain at rapid speed and headed for almost guaranteed scandal and disaster

Robert Daniels
If the Hulu-produced [Fyre Fraud] didn't exist, Netflix's [FYRE] would be a fully worthwhile presentation. But Hulu's [Fire Fraud] does exist, and it is decidedly better.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
At moments, its conspiratorial vibe feels like a friend sharing juicy gossip. But [Chris] Smith digs deeper to show the damage wrought by Fyre fest, and by [Billy] McFarland.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
I sat watching Fyre in a state of amused disbelief (while, yes, occasionally taking the Lord's name in vain). There's not too many places to see this much madness, ego, greed, and full-on stupidity on display at the same time.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
"Fyre" drills down on a story of [Billy] McFarland as a unitary figure of special malice, which feels both less interesting and less true.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Justin Chang
[The guests] don't come off really well... You couldn't help but laugh.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
[An] elegantly constructed takedown.
NPR
Linda Holmes
If you love a story of absolute, no-holds-barred, extravagant disaster, you'll probably want to watch both. But if you just want a better idea of what the heck happened here, the truth is that either film will serve.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
What's most haunting about the movie isn't the transformation itself so much as the emptiness of the desires that fuel it-essentially the same empty desires that both propelled McFarland and destroyed him.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Still, "Fyre Fraud" edges out Netflix's film by stepping back and delivering on the stronger, more despairing theme here, which is very clearly this: Society... is losing its ability to sense a snake in the grass.
The New Republic
Jo Livingstone
Fyre shoots its talking heads straight on, à la Wild, Wild Country, which looks modern.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Documentary veteran Smith... does an expert job here, talking to some 50 folks, including festival employees, consultants, would-be revelers and unwitting residents of the Bahamas who got caught in the event's momentous undertow.
The Atlantic
David Sims
The movie also scrapes away the sheen of the flamboyant "influencer" lifestyle that McFarland leveraged to sell tickets and hook investors.
AV Club
Alex McLevy
What Smith nails is just how far McFarland's bravado and snake-oil salesman shrewdness really took him before it all collapsed.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
You actually come away from Netflix's Fyre feeling like you've got a sense of who McFarland is and why he was able to con so many people into giving him their time, respect, and millions in cash.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Fyre -- Netflix's version of a pair of dueling documentaries -- is positively bonkers, a feature-length look at the planned Fyre music festival that went spectacularly awry.
