The long-running story of Oasis and the turbulent relationship between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher takes centre stage in the new documentary “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger.”
The film follows the British rock band’s highly anticipated 2025 reunion tour, marking their return to the stage together after splitting in 2009. For years, the brothers’ public clashes had overshadowed hopes of seeing Oasis reunite.
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, the documentary captures the band during rehearsals, backstage moments and live performances. Rather than focusing only on the music, it also follows the changing relationship between the Gallagher brothers as they prepare to perform together again.
Early rehearsals are portrayed as tense, reflecting the difficult history between Liam and Noel. As the tour progresses, however, the film shows signs of a warmer relationship developing between the siblings.
One notable moment comes before the band’s first concert in Cardiff, when Liam and Noel hold hands. The gesture becomes a recurring symbol of their renewed connection, with the brothers repeating it later in the tour.
The documentary also gives viewers access to the personalities behind Oasis. Liam appears as an energetic and often humorous frontman, while Noel offers a more reflective perspective on the band’s return and his relationship with his younger brother.
The reunion itself brought Oasis back to some of the biggest stages around the world, allowing longtime fans to hear songs that helped define the band’s 1990s career alongside newer performances.
The film therefore serves as both a concert documentary and a record of the brothers’ reconciliation after years of public disagreements. Other reviews have similarly highlighted its focus on the emotional side of the reunion, alongside the band’s large-scale performances.
For Oasis fans, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” offers a behind-the-scenes account of a reunion that once appeared unlikely, while documenting how Liam and Noel returned to the stage together and navigated their complicated relationship along the way.
