- "Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger" was directed by Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern and chronicles the band's 2025 reunion tour alongside the brothers' evolving relationship.
- The documentary opens on Noel Gallagher arriving for a six-week rehearsal period, while Liam arrives later with minimal conversation, creating lingering tension through editing before the duo reconciles on tour.
- The Gallaghers express shock at crowd euphoria worldwide, with Liam declaring they "finally woke America up" after previously receiving what they called a "lukewarm" reception across North America.
- Noel credits rhythm guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs with defining Oasis's sound, saying "He is the fucking sound of Oasis" and admitting he chased Bonehead's guitar tone for the final decade of Oasis's original run after his 1999 departure.
- The film features the brothers' first joint interviews in 20 years, with Liam noting "it takes a lot of caring to not give a fuck" and both revealing they now text and share social media posts — a milestone after reportedly 15 years barely speaking.
- Noel observes the Live '25 Tour crowds skewed young, attributing this to parents passing down their love of Oasis to younger generations while fans wonder if a 2027 tour will follow.
Why it matters: This documentary confirms the Gallagher brothers' reconciliation extends beyond the stage — the siblings now text and share social media — a major shift after 15 years of estrangement and vitriolic feuding. Their ability to finally crack previously "lukewarm" American audiences and draw cross-generational fans shows Oasis's appeal now spans decades.
