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. Oct 28, 2016 Full Review Adam Graham Detroit News "Supersonic" captures the madness of Oasis from an insider's perspective. Rated: B Oct 28, 2016 Full Review Mark Caro Chicago Sun-Times "Supersonic" boasts an ear-blasting, you-are-there immediacy, utilizing a treasure trove of archival photos and footage to make you feel present. Rated: 3/4 Oct 27, 2016 Full Review Leonie Cooper NME (New Musical Express) This new film about Oasis's glory years is rousing, heart-rending and really funny. Rated: 5/5 Apr 23, 2021 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof '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] Aug 20, 2019 Full Review Ciaran Kerr Film Bunker The expert crafting of the narrative leading up to the final moments earns itself the right to maintain convention.

Alex F I must have seen this film at least four times. It is very interesting and captivating. The backstories to the band members are very well told and it is put together phenomenally. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Kev M superirrelevant. In it for the money. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review ryan e Amazing, great insight into the band! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review william k 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review razvan p learned that noel is a talented dope guy.. and liam is just talented. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
