Fyre Fraud, which had been planned as a series, feels unfocused and rushed. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 01/18/2019
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. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels 812filmreviews 01/18/2019

McFarland, like most scammers, is a wellspring of genius misused for perilous ends...Fyre Fraud is a story of an all-time swindle... Go to Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic 02/21/2020
Given what we're told of him, there's little reason to trust anything he says, and so his interviews instead make the viewer scrutinize him and suss out whether these are his true feelings or simply how a liar tells their story. Go to Full Review Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (LAist) 09/14/2019
A little more comedic, a little more about millennials. Go to Full Review Jennifer Heaton Alternative Lens 07/03/2019

THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 11 Definitely the superior Fyre fest documentary. Involving the specific influencers (and FOUNDER!) who made Fyre fest to begin with gives this film a lot of weight, and a lot of fascination. Just be prepared to despise some of the grossest, most spoiled brats this country has to offer. See more Ted W 08/31/2020 Just like the Netflix one. See more 08/31/2020 Just like the Netflix one. See more 04/10/2020 Details McFarlands acts of fraud, with insights into millennial culture. See more 03/19/2020 Rich naive people who got scammed, whats new? A better Fyre documentary but that doesn't make it "good." Bit repetitive and overanalysis of a failed music festival. Expect lots of rationalization of a guilty man trying to make himself sound innocent. 2.5/5. Waste of time. See more 11/25/2019 A long version of an American Greed episode - meant to subtly convince the viewer that people like Billy McFarland and President Trump are one and the same. Billy's festival was really like socialism in action. Promise paradise - deliver hell. See more Read all reviews
