Critics Consensus

Liam Gallagher: As It Was benefits from its outspoken subject's rough-hewn charm, even if the indulgent end result neglects to dig below the surface.

Josh Modell

AV Club

It's a good story - especially the focus on music as redeemer - but it does feel a bit too warm and fuzzy.

Rated: C+

Finally amounts to a feature-length EPK.

Michael Rechtshaffen

Los Angeles Times

With its release timed to coincide with this month's release of Gallagher's second solo album... the documentary can't help but feel like a promo piece despite providing some insightful backstage glimpses into its subject's well-publicized life.

Liam Gallagher's impressive post-Beady Eye comeback is definitely worth celebrating, and this documentary film works...

NME (New Musical Express)

This comeback documentary is also, in some ways, a poison pen letter to Noel...

Rated: 4/5

The Critical Movie Critics

It just feels a little empty and pointless, and while the concert footage brings with it some liveliness, not even a cameo from David Beckham can compel me to give Liam Gallagher: As It Was another watch.

For anyone that's a fan of Liam this is quite an uplifting look at how he managed to pull himself back up from the Oasis breakup and failure of Beady Eye.

If you are an oasis fan and Liam fan, it's a must watch. Arrogant guy? sure, that why he's awesome, I don't wanna hang out with the dude, but I do wanna hear his music and his voice. He entertains me, isn't that the point?

DNF - stopped watching at 13 minutes. The two brothers are insufferable and interchangeable.

The most open and honest documentary I've seen. Puts a whole new light on the last great rock n roll singer, and the greatest rock n roll front man of all time. Absolutely brilliant
