It is astounding. It builds every 10 minutes in terms of its ludicrousness.

At moments, its conspiratorial vibe feels like a friend sharing juicy gossip. But [Chris] Smith digs deeper to show the damage wrought by Fyre fest, and by [Billy] McFarland.

Fyre provides exactly that kind of guilty euphoria, as director Chris Smith successfully paints an alarming picture of "entrepreneur" Billy McFarland's arrogance, arguably sociopath tendencies, and sheer deluded sense of desperation.
