Alan Scherstuhl

Village Voice

They weren't the Sex Beatles, as London's music press dubbed them. They were rock's Marsalis brothers, advancing and embodying their own highly selective idea of a canon.

'Oasis: Supersonic' is not the most honest movie about the group, but definitely, perhaps, the best documentary about a rock band to this date. [Full Review in Spanish]

The expert crafting of the narrative leading up to the final moments earns itself the right to maintain convention.

A marvellous well assembled documentary about one of the greatest bands of all time. Which features about the Gallagher's childhood and so much more. It discusses the bands downfall due to their crazy antics and what went on behind the scenes. and it also discusses the rise of the band on how they came together and how they actually created some of the greatest songs of all time. I would definitely recommend, Supersonic (2016), if you're interested in wanting to know a lot more about the behind the scenes of the band, Oasis and how they formed together. Or even if you're a huge fan of Oasis. It's honestly worth the watch. 26 Sep 2021

OK documentary gives a good overview of the band's history for the uninitiated, but it's mainly aimed at the fan base for an audience.

Laying my cards on the table right from the start, I do not like the music of Oasis and find Noel Gallagher an utterly repellant human being. He and his brother represent everything I detest about some men in that they are big-headed, arrogant and incredibly rude, seeming to lack any sense of vulnerability or humility. However, as a band, Oasis had an incredible impact on the UK music scene in the 1990s and, for this reason if nothing else, this movie makes interesting viewing. It is a fascinating documentary (although very one-sided) and gives a good account of the way in which the band formed and rose to fame. It doesn't shy away from the excesses of the band with frank discussions of the drug taking and bad behaviour that surrounded the band in their heyday. It also begins to expose the cracks, rivalries and splits that destroyed the group but I feel that there is much more to be told and the movie stops before the final days of the band so we never get the full picture. I still want to hear more about how the sibling rivalry between Noel and Liam turned into the all out war and hatred that now defines the brothers.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
