Noel and Liam Gallagher appear unexpectedly generous towards one another in a new Oasis documentary, offering a striking contrast to the 15-year estrangement during which the brothers traded a succession of public insults.
Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger premiered at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, where the Gallaghers arrived together to promote the film documenting their reunion tour.
The documentary follows the brothers as they returned to the stage for Oasis Live ’25, while also examining the relationship that brought the band to an acrimonious end in 2009.
It includes the pair’s first joint interview in more than two decades, alongside previously unseen footage of rehearsals as they prepared to perform together again for the first time in 15 years.
Rather than dwelling on the bitterness that followed Oasis’s split, the film presents Noel and Liam speaking with a notable degree of warmth about each other and their shared musical history.
The filmmakers, Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, have said they wanted to capture the reconciliation of two brothers whose volatile relationship had become almost as famous as their songs. Cameras were discreetly installed in the rehearsal studio to record the early stages of their reunion.
The film also charts the reaction of fans during the comeback shows, showing how the scale of the audience response helped transform the reunion into an emotional event for both the band and its followers.
Officially listed as running for 122 minutes, the documentary has been cut down considerably from an earlier version which producer Steven Knight said had reached four hours.
Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger will be released in cinemas on September 11, with a Disney+ streaming release expected later this year.
