Little news value.

Don't get me wrong: as an Oasis fanboy from the very beginning, I am highly susceptible to the band's magic, or its resurgence. With Noel Gallagher as the pensive narrator and Liam as his thoughtless but surprisingly sharp counterpart, the documentary manages to gather quite a few moments that encapsulate the duo's original, bipolar charm.

Noel as a controlling organizer, using rehearsals to hope to enjoy the performances out of routine, while Liam shows up 20 minutes before the first concert of the reunion tour but displays remarkable discipline and proves to be in exceptionally good voice. The documentary flourishes in the moments when it highlights their mutual contrast, but it also often gets bogged down in repetitive statements, with Noel musing on the value of their music (societal, then, now, for the new generation) and Liam capturing wondrous truths in crude aphorisms (Don't be a cunt. And if you're gonna be a cunt, be a funny cunt).

It is a shame that the documentary's structure is written and edited so predictably, with the setlist serving as a guide—something you will recognize as a fan of the earlier documentary Knebworth. Just like there, the performed songs are interwoven with fan experiences, this time more international in nature, but are we really waiting for testimony from fairly random fans about what the songs meant to them at different stages of their lives?

A slightly more substantive recording of the band members' experiences would have been welcome, and could have masked the fact that the film's setup is simply ticking off the setlist. As a fan of the band, you automatically start thinking halfway through about which obligatory songs are still to come. As a non-fan, I imagine you won't get much enjoyment out of this anyway.

Enough moments for fans to get goosebumps, but as an objective film fan, this still feels like a somewhat lazily put together project. 3*
