Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger: What to Know About the Reunion Documentary

Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger is a documentary-concert film about Oasis’s Live ’25 reunion tour. The official Venice listing gives it a 122-minute running time—not 123 minutes—and credits Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace as directors and Steven Knight as screenwriter. 5

Its central appeal is access: the film pairs the comeback shows with rehearsal, backstage and previously unseen material, plus Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first joint interviews in more than 25 years. Rather than presenting itself chiefly as a forensic explanation of Oasis’s split, it frames the reunion through reconciliation and the enduring emotional connection between the band and its audience. 521

What the film covers

The documentary follows the energy and emotional impact of Live ’25, moving between performance footage and behind-the-scenes reflection. Directors Southern and Lovelace said they wanted to make a film both about two brothers reconciling and about the way Oasis songs have continued to matter to listeners. 12

That makes this a concert film with a personal, fan-focused perspective—not simply a chronology of the band’s history. The official materials promise “unprecedented access” and never-before-seen footage, while Venice describes the film as exploring the impact of the reunion through the brothers’ joint interviews and unseen material. 215

Venice premiere: an emphatic audience response

The film had its world premiere out of competition at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on September 5, 2026. Liam and Noel Gallagher attended the screening together; after it, they held hands and raised their arms as the audience gave the film an eight-minute standing ovation. 38

The response inside the screening was especially animated: Variety reported applause following many of the on-screen live performances, singalongs during “Champagne Supernova,” and audible tears from some attendees. 38

Reviews: powerful reunion atmosphere, limited interrogation

Critical reaction was more nuanced than the premiere-night ovation. Variety’s review found that the film places the split front and center but does not reveal much of the tension that may remain between the brothers, taking issue with what it saw as an overly grand approach from Knight. 3

Other critics were warmer about the emotional experience. The Guardian called it a highly enjoyable, fan-oriented account of the reunion’s euphoria, while The Hollywood Reporter said the film effectively conveys how much Oasis means to people around the world. 4142

The most useful expectation-setting takeaway is simple: viewers seeking granular detail on the long estrangement or the mechanics of reconciliation may find the film guarded. Those looking to relive the scale, songs and shared feeling of the reunion are its natural audience. 333
