THE NASHVILLE I Not necessarily untruthful, but Fyre's production by the ad company that helped make Fyre fest to begin with, makes this documentary somewhat problematic. While Huly got the jump on Netflix by getting direct sources (such as the founder) on record, Netflix basically had to go the other way and spike the entertinment factor. Therefore it feels somewhat forced at times, but it's still a decent documentary. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review David W 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Gareth v 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.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
