The film revisits the backstage confrontation in Paris that brought Oasis to an end in 2009, beginning a 15-year feud that saw the brothers trade insults in interviews and on social media.
Fans who watched the documentary took to X to share their reactions, with one writing: “Bawling over the Oasis documentary. It’s so over.”
Another described it as “a 10/10”, while a third said their “heart is so full it could explode” and declared: “I love this band more than life itself. Long live Oasis.”
Viewers also praised the way the film combined concert footage with the story of the brothers’ reconciliation. One fan called it an “emotional rollercoaster”, adding that the documentary had captured how extraordinary it was to see Oasis back on stage.
“It’s funny, sad, emotional and more,” another viewer wrote. “Loved every second of it.”
Oasis reunion documentary moves fans
The documentary was made by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight credited as writer. The filmmakers said they wanted to record not only the scale of the comeback but the changing relationship between the Gallagher brothers.
They filmed rehearsals using concealed cameras, having spoken to Noel and Liam separately before the tour began. According to the directors, the brothers had not been in the same room for 16 years when Liam arrived at rehearsals, dropped his bag and asked whether they were ready.
The Oasis Live ’25 tour eventually comprised 41 concerts across 14 countries and five continents, attracting more than two million people, according to The Guardian. The film also follows fans from around the world and explores the continuing impact of the band’s music on different generations.

The directors said the tension between the brothers began to ease as the concerts progressed, with Noel and Liam appearing to grow closer each night.
In the joint interview featured in the film, Noel says the pair are now in contact “way more than we ever were before” and that he had forgotten how funny Liam was. He adds that the habits which once irritated them about each other had faded.
For many viewers, the emotional force of the documentary came from seeing the reconciliation unfold against the backdrop of the songs that made Oasis one of Britain’s biggest bands.
One fan said the film was a “must watch” whether or not viewers had attended the reunion concerts, while another praised its portrayal of the tour’s atmosphere and said they wished they could return to the feeling of being at the shows.
The film’s release comes amid continued speculation that Oasis could announce a second run of concerts after the success of the comeback tour, offering another chance to fans who missed out on tickets.
