On the surface, this is a story of a queer, chosen family spending what might be their last weekend of sex, drugs, and partying on Fire Island. Fire Island – Torian Miller, Bowen Yang, Margaret Cho, Tomás Matos, Joel Kim Booster. Much like when they say Manhattan is the fifth girlfriend on Sex and the City, it’s evident that director Andrew Ahn needed Fire Island itself to be as much of a character as everyone else. You cannot call it Fire Island and then film most of it on soundstages. I didn’t know how much I needed to go on this trip! It will make you laugh, cry, and yell at your TV out of love.įirst of all, this movie is shot beautifully.
Fire Island might not be the dream vacation destination for everyone, just as Fire Island, the Hulu original film, might not be the movie for everyone.
