Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened (dir. Chris Smith).

There are two competing streaming documentaries about the now notoriously disastrous luxury music festival scam and both films offer some pretty crazy real-life drama laid out in compelling fashion.

Employing a ton of very enticing behind-the-scenes private footage slickly edited together, Netflix’s Fyre doc proves to be a fairly indicting, polished work with plenty of blame expressed while being laser-focused on the antics of organizer/co-founder Billy McFarland—since convicted of wire fraud.

Fyre Fraud (dirs. Julia Willoughby Nason & Jenner Furst).

Hulu’s version actually employs McFarland as its centrepiece interview as he proves totally useless as a hollow character devoid of any remorse or even self-awareness and offers no answers for his destructive (ultimately fraudulent) actions. Aiming to put the festival’s events into a larger societal “influencer” context including how sociopathic con men use people, it just isn’t as put together or focused on its subject matter.
