Fyre Fraud *** / *****

Directed by: Jenner Furst & Julia Willoughby Nason.

Hulu was smart back in January of this year when they decided to release their Fyre documentary just a few days before Netflix released their documentary – virtually guaranteeing that many people would watch both documentaries for comparison purposes. The two then got into an ethics-off of a sort –with the Hulu directors accusing (not incorrectly) the Netflix people of working with Fuck Jerry Media – which ran the marketing for Fyre festival, and have questionable (at best) ethics in everything, and the Netflix people accusing the Hulu people (again, not incorrectly) of paying Billy McFarland $175,000 for an interview and footage for their documentary. Both are dubious, ethically, to be sure – but I don’t think either fatally hurt either documentary. I also think Hulu was smart to release their documentary at the same time, because it is clearly the inferior movie overall – and had it come out later than the Netflix documentary (like it did here in Canada – where we do not have Hulu, and they eventually released it to other streaming platforms for rental. I rented it wanting to see what they had that the Netflix documentary did not. The answer really is not all that much – and it is has a jokier style that I don’t think works as well. It’s an interesting documentary – and I think goes well with the other film – but if you’re only going to watch one, watch the other one.

The film follows the same basic format as the Netflix documentary – first introducing us Billy McFarland, and his previous companies and ventures – and how be made a name for himself with his credit card for Millennials – before moving onto Fyre – which was supposed to be a talent booking ap – and then spiraled into the music festival in the Bahamas. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, and basically it all went wrong because of McFarland and his hubris – he just never could convince himself to pull the plug on the venture, even when it should have clear it was never going to come off.

 

Chris Smith, who directed the Netflix documentary, really focused more on interviews and footage from the island to make his documentary. He has great access, and really does show you step by step how everything flew off the rails. The one thing he didn’t have was access to McFarland himself – who refused an interview because they wouldn’t pay him, like Hulu did. In the end, I’m not sure how big a difference it ended up making – McFarland doesn’t really reveal too much we don’t already know, and pretty much confirms what we do know – that he is a pathological liar, who cannot be trusted, who really didn’t know how to pull off what he wanted to pull off but kept pushing on anyway. Where it went from being incompetent to being criminal is debatable – but it got there.

 

I do think that Fyre Fraud does try to be a little too clever for its own good – bringing in clips from The Simpsons and other pop culture touchstones to make the whole thing funnier – jokier. The film doesn’t have as much time for the real victims of the Fyre Festival – the locals who were never paid for the work they did. The film just kind of breezes over them – and even, for the most part, the attendees of the festival. It wants to stay more focused on Billy and his team than anyone else.

 

Fyre Fraud is a fun little documentary. I don’t think it quite hits the heights of Smith’s Netflix documentary (although to be fair, since I saw that one first, this one cannot surprise you in very many ways). The two documentaries kind of fill in some blanks of each other – and it probably it worth your time to see both if you like this story. But if you only want to watch one – the Netflix one is clearly superior.
