The Hollywood Reporter has reviewed "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger", a new documentary from directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern that charts the band's blockbuster 2025 reunion tour following Noel and Liam Gallagher's 15-year estrangement. The critic, who admits going in sceptical of music documentaries, describes being unexpectedly moved to tears, praising the film as a poignant tribute to what the band means to fans worldwide, though it deliberately avoids probing the brothers' famous feud or the mechanics of their reconciliation.

The film blends concert footage from the reunion tour with backstage interviews, audience reactions and glimpses into individual fans' lives, drawing heavily on tracks from the 1995 album "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?". It portrays a softer, more self-effacing Noel and Liam than their brash public image of the 1990s, and captures fans ranging from Gen Z to older Gen X across the UK, Ireland, Brazil, South Korea and the US reacting to hearing the songs performed live again. The documentary is set to stream on Disney+.
