📰 What Happened
Deadline critic Damon Wise reviews 'Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger', the more-than-feature-length documentary about the Gallagher brothers' reunion, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, which premiered at Venice. Rather than explaining why Noel and Liam Gallagher put aside their differences for a multi-million-dollar world stadium tour, the film offers an insider's view of what the reunion produced for the estranged brothers. It captures one of the most oversubscribed reunion tours in UK history, with the band looking back at its own past behaviour with horror.
🔍 The Backstory
Oasis had split abruptly in 2009, going up in a puff of smoke just seconds before their appearance at the Rock en Seine festival and leaving audiences and promoters furious. The brothers spent years feuding publicly before announcing their heavily promoted reunion tour. In the film, Liam marvels that they still had a fanbase at all, suggesting he would have told the band to stick their songs up their backsides if he were a fan.
🎯 Why It Matters
For the millions who missed out on reunion tickets, the documentary offers a rare view inside one of the biggest events in recent music history. It also asks a question that has captivated fans for years: can the Gallaghers truly reconcile? The film's Venice premiere signals the growing appetite for music documentaries as major festival attractions.
