“Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger” Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 4

Like many fans, I missed out on last year’s Oasis reunion tour, with Birmingham missing out entirely outside of a BullRing pop-up shop. This concert film aims to bridge that gap, documenting the 2025 tour through live footage, backstage moments, interviews, and narration. Presented in an intentional 4:3 aspect ratio, it’s designed for the big screen, though a Disney Plus/Hulu streaming release is expected soon.

The film serves up an enjoyable mix of performances and humorous narration, opening with the band’s backstory before moving into rehearsals and the tour itself. It does a fantastic job of capturing what Oasis means to their crowds/fans, many of whom turned up dressed for the gigs appropriately. As a Liam fan, the film underscores just how crucial both brothers are to the band’s success, offering honest and frequently hilarious insight into their dynamic.

The main drawback is pacing. At just over two hours, the runtime stretches a bit thin, spending excessive time on audience reactions while cutting short what could have been more extensive interviews with Liam and Noel. Seeing the two of them together on camera was a highlight that left you wanting more.

The cinema sound genuinely enhances the live tracks, and unlike other event films, this is being shown for at least the next week at many cinemas. It’s an easy recommendation for enthusiasts and music lovers alike, provided you don’t mind a bit of narrative padding along the way.

P.S. When attending the viewing, Cineworld handed out thick matte collectible tickets which is a nice collectable to have as a memento. If your quick, they are handing out while stocks last.

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger (2026) is a documentary directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern that chronicles the reunion of Liam and Noel Gallagher for the Oasis Live ’25 tour. The film provides intimate backstage access, rehearsal footage, and the brothers’ first joint interviews in over fifteen years.
