Fyre 2019

7.8/10

This movie tells the story of the 2017 Fyre Music Festival scandal. An event where party-goers, who paid thousands of dollars for luxury hotel accommodation on a Bahamian island, found themselves sleeping in hazard tents left over from the last hurricane disaster, with wonderbread and processed cheese sandwiches. “We were promised arugula!” 

The documentary focuses heavily on the person behind the operation, Billy McFarland. 

A rival movie, titled Fyre Fraud, was also released on Hulu around the same time. They’re both excellent, but if, like me, you didn’t know about the scandal before hearing about the movie, I wouldn’t suggest bothering with watching both. 

Synopsis

He promised supermodels and yachts, but delivered tents and cheese sandwiches. How one man engineered a music festival disaster.

    Too long. No sympathy for the rich FOMOs who bought plunked down money due to a slick marketing campaign.
