The new Oasis documentary, 'Don't Look Back In Anger,' premiered at the Venice Film Festival, drawing brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher together for their first public appearance as a pair since the band's reunion. The film, which received an eight-minute standing ovation, chronicles the band's 2024 reunion and their extensive 'Live '25' tour dates.
Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, and produced by Steven Knight, the documentary captures the emotional journey of the band's comeback. During the ovation, Noel Gallagher was observed wiping tears from his eyes, while Liam Gallagher humorously checked his watch, indicating a desire to leave before Steven Knight persuaded them to stay. Following the screening, the brothers interacted with fans, signing autographs before departing the festival prior to the press conference.
Reviews have been highly positive, with NME awarding the film four-and-a-half stars and describing it as "masterfully done." The documentary highlights the impact of Oasis, with Liam Gallagher stating, "Oasis saves," and explores the emergence of a new generation of fans during the band's hiatus. The film also touches upon the brothers' past animosity, with Noel Gallagher noting that "all was forgiven without a word," though the financial motivations for the tour are notably absent from the narrative.
'Don't Look Back In Anger' is set for a limited theatrical release worldwide starting September 9, with a subsequent streaming debut on Disney+ globally and on Disney+ alongside Hulu in the US in 2026. The UK premiere is scheduled for September 7 in London.
