‘Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger’ Review: The Gallagher Bros. Bury The Hatchet In A Sentimental But Funny Concert Movie – Venice Film Festival

The Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, brought their signature rock star energy to the Venice Film Festival, where their documentary "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger" made its world premiere. The film, directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, chronicles the brothers' reunion tour, which took place after a 15-year feud. According to Associated Press and CityNews, the brothers skipped the press conference, waving to photographers before heading off.

The documentary explores the contentious relationship between the brothers, which led to Oasis disbanding in 2009 after a backstage altercation in Paris. Noel had previously described Liam as "the angriest man you'll ever meet," while Liam told the Guardian in 2018 that Noel had "done me out" and "split the band up" to further his own career. The band, formed in Manchester in 1991, became one of the most popular British acts of the 1990s, with hits like "Definitely Maybe" and "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?"

The film, described by IndieWire as a "joyous chronicle" of the reunion tour, offers an inspiring tale of forgiveness and reconciliation. Deadline notes that the documentary doesn't explicitly address why the brothers put aside their differences for the tour, instead focusing on what came out of it for the estranged brothers. Variety reports that the brothers' decision to skip the press conference was not surprising, given their history.
