A documentary titled Don't Look Back in Anger has quietly opened in theaters and is scheduled to air on Disney+. Directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, with a screenplay by Steven Knight—known for the television series Peaky Blinders—the film provides a behind-the-scenes look at Oasis's preparations for their 2025 XL reunion tour. It documents the band's rehearsals in a London studio in the spring of 2025, where Noel Gallagher and his bandmates revisited classic Oasis songs in anticipation of the tour. Liam Gallagher joined the group later in the afternoon, marking the first time in 16 years that the brothers had seen each other since a public disagreement at the Île-de-France Rock en Seine festival. To ease the tension, Bonehead, the band's longtime guitarist, stood between the brothers. Liam made a short comment before performing the song "Hello."
The film explores how Oasis has impacted the lives of its fans, featuring a variety of individuals from different backgrounds, including an Argentine supporter of River Plate, haenyeo divers from South Korea, and a survivor of the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing. While some critics have pointed out that the documentary relies on overly emotional moments and slow-motion shots, it has received praise for its refined cinematography and intelligent editing. Unlike many tour documentaries, this one focuses on the band's origins in the working-class community of Manchester and its Irish roots. It also highlights the brothers' humility, with Liam remarking, "We're not superheroes, we don't cure cancer."
The documentary does not explain the reasons behind the brothers' reconciliation, but it includes their first joint interview in 16 years. Humor plays a notable role, such as when Liam asked the audience to perform a "poznań" gesture—a nod to Manchester City supporters. The film was released in theaters on September 9 and will be shown in select theaters on September 11, with a planned broadcast on Disney+ shortly after.
