Oasis: Supersonic

"The tale is well-known, aided by its subjects’ knack for ever-quotable quips - two brothers from Manchester armed with anthems, attitude, eyebrows, and an appetite for altercation conquer the world. As with their Winehouse doco Amy, the filmmakers behind Supersonic imbue a familiar story with strong personal dimensions. Unlike that earlier, tragic, tale, the protagonists are still with us, allowing the Gallagher brothers to do the lion’s share of narration as they share the still-remarkable saga of Oasis."

"Marvelling at how five council-estate lads rocketed to superstardom in three years, the doc is so stuffed it almost (almost...) justifies ignoring Oasis' slump into trad-rock torpor."

"Captures what it really feels like to play your first gig, to release your first album, to stay up for five days snorting crystal meth then freak out on stage at the Whisky a Go Go."

"Entertaining stuff - but odd to see the years 1996-2009 airbrushed out of history."

"Throw in tales of drugs, deportation and a dedication to making beautiful music and the result is a compelling watch for fans and haters alike."

"Not the full picture but a fascinating snapshot of an era-defining band."

"The story of Britpop's iconic band at its peak is told with wit, honesty and swagger. Which, given its two leads, is entirely fitting."
