“Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger” is about the 2025 tour that followed the reunion of Oasis co-founders Liam and Noel Gallagher, after a backstage scuffle at the 2009 Rock en Seine festival in Paris ended the band. It’s hard to describe how much it meant to fans that the brothers finally put aside their differences, reassembled the band, and mapped out an international series of concerts. Imagine John Lennon miraculously surviving beyond 1980, and the Beatles reuniting in 1987 and going on tour. The time between the breakup and the reunion was long enough for many fans to have children and raise them on Oasis, which only mythologized the band further and made every concert a multigenerational bonding event. 

The tour was so successful and satisfying for the band and its followers, that all the makers of this documentary had to do was show what happened, pack seven or eight kickass numbers into the running time, and call it a day. But they went further. Much further. This is one of the best music documentaries ever made because, while it gives us a little bit of the story of the brothers and the band, it’s not really about any of that. As directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern and written by film and TV screenwriter Steven Knight (a credit that acknowledges contributions to the movie’s concept, themes, and structure), the Oasis reunion tour is a way of drawing us into the movie’s true subjects: what music means to people, and the practical value and personal importance of art in everyday life.
