Reviews
Fire Island has garnered mixed reviews since its release. While the film offers a fresh take on classic romantic comedy themes, it has been critiqued for its execution. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a low score, indicating a lukewarm reception among critics. 'Fire Island attempts to capture the whimsical essence of summer romance but often feels heavy-handed with clichés,' one critic remarked. IMDb users rated it at 2.7/10, reflecting the disappointment of many viewers who expected a lighter, more enjoyable experience. Metacritic users echoed this sentiment, with a score that speaks to the film's struggles to resonate. However, some reviews highlighted the film's strengths, praising Bennett's performance and the film's effort to represent the LGBTQ+ community authentically. 'While it may stumble, the charm of Fire Island lies in its earnestness and heart,' suggested a review from IndieWire. Despite the criticisms, a few audiences appreciated its cultural significance and the lively portrayal of its characters, even if the plot didn't always deliver the punch they hoped for.
