There’s a whole lotta gay pride and prejudice in this fierce, funny rom-com, which brings Jane Austen’s comedy of manners to a sweaty vacation at “gay Disneyland”.

The quips are almost as hot as the sexual tension in (this) loosely paced but endearing romantic comedy.

San Francisco Chronicle
Despite the shortcomings, Fire Island is a feel-good, enjoyable comedy and a celebration of queer, Asian American storytelling.

It doesn’t take long for (this) instant-classic Jane Austen riff, to stake its claim in the romantic comedy canon—or rather, defiantly outside of it.

Fire Island feels hemmed in by its source material even when being loose and irreverent with it.

It’s undoubtedly compelling to see Fire Island interrogate Austen’s social commentary... in the context of contemporary gay culture.

The antics... delightfully meet audience expectations without straying too far from convention, sticking instead to the tried and true.
