Turns out the real scam here was that they got me to watch two separate documentaries made up of mostly the same stories and footage.

never trust a grown man named billy it’s just science

It's not actually that good but I'm giving it five stars because I want twenty seven more documentaries about Fyre Fest. Be the change.

the part where billy says they had $2 million worth of house rentals but he LOST THE BOX WITH ALL THE KEYS IN IT was funnier than any movie that came out last year except for paddington 2

Fyre Fest docs are my new favorite genre of cinema

A half-assed, flimsy attempt at "First!" logic, getting the jump on Netflix by mere days yet producing a film a tenth as focused. Fyre understood that the subject was fundamentally funny and instead highlighted the slow burn collapse. Fyre Fraud consists almost entirely of jokey reference clips, marrying every pop-culture reference by an interview subject to the actual thing being mentioned like a live-action Family Guy riff. The big draw here is McFarland, who was paid to participate to offer no insights other than to protest his innocence and clam up when confronted, rendering his inclusion meaningless and ethically shoddy. This is trying so hard to be a comedy that it only reveals how little research went into it, and no joke here is half as funny as any given tweet that blew up when this all went down.

kinda convinced me I should just commit fraud idk don’t quote me on this in court

This is just embarrassing, if you want a real look at the festival and all the things that went wrong watch the netflix documentary, if you want to watch the people responsible desperately try to fix their image while pathetically splicing in clips from popular TV shows like a YouTube video than watch this.

Not to mention the pacing, if you liked the first 20 minutes of suicide squad this is the documentary for you, the intro just doesnt end and the whole thing moves at a sporadic, headache inducingly fast pace, just dont watch this movie it's only stroking the egos of the people responsible for the fyre festival

Pertinent et fascinant. Une dose d'humour parfaite. Un documentaire sur un évenement clef de notre génération.

If you're going to watch one Fyre documentary, watch the other (Netflix) one. It is overall better made and tells the story more coherently. However, this one is worth watching for two reasons. First, they get an interview with the main fraudster, Billie McFarland. Second, they reveal that the Netflix documentary was partly produced by Fuck Jerry media, which originally helped promote the event, even though they knew it was fraudulent.

Definitely the weaker of the Fyre Festival documentaries but certainly much more fun and upbeat than the other one was as that one always deeply depresses me whenever I think about it.

of course i support influencers rights... influencers rights to shut the fuck up!

This was the worse one... right? Why did I watch two documentaries about a concert I never cared about to begin with?

didn’t like this one as much as the netflix one but what really gets me about this one is the music during the “where are they now” sequence
