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

| May 11, 2021

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 29, 2021

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.

It has moments that may remind you of This is Spinal Tap, but that's not necessarily a bad thing... Oasis fans will want to check out Liam Gallagher: As It Was...

This might have been a more enjoyable watch if centred around a "you-know-what-I-mean" drinking game. The count was off the scale.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2019

... essentially a filmed press release from publicists and record executives with a carefully scripted agenda about image rehabilitation and career resurrection.

Yes, he is pompous and wild, but he is also a great frontman and highly watchable. Charlie Lightening and Gavin Fitzgerald's documentary gives us a measured look at the misunderstood man as he attempts a comeback.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 24, 2019

What elevates the material is its insightful, uplifting portrait of the artist as a new man. The movie was 10 years in the making. Ditto Liam Gallagher 2.0.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 10, 2019

'Liam Gallagher: As It Was' is a refreshing portrait of a musical icon told in a manner that is not just flattering to the artist in question, but an honest assessment of their life thus far.

| Oct 5, 2019

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

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 18, 2019

Merely an exercise in proving what a swell guy Liam Gallagher is, with an endless parade of friends and family members sitting down to sing his praises.

| Sep 17, 2019

If you were ever a fan of Oasis and the Gallagher brothers, this documentary is a must-see!

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 16, 2019

I love Oasis, but this documentary never manages to make their mercurial former member of any significant interest. Liam Gallagher simply never makes himself film worthy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 14, 2019

Finally amounts to a feature-length EPK.

| Sep 14, 2019

It stirs up nostalgic memories, but also leaves one with a lingering sense of melancholy.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 14, 2019

The documentary is a riveting, highly engaging look at one of the few rock stars of the 1990s who deserves icon status.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 14, 2019

It's not exactly plain, nothing with the eccentric Gallagher at the centre of it can be, but it's a rather run of the mill artist biography.

| Sep 13, 2019

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.

| Sep 13, 2019

A compelling look at Liam's Gallagher's desire to reclaim mass popularity under some new, healthier terms -- while still leaving his trademark give-no-effs approach to life intact.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2019

Essentially a promotional video meant to push [the album As You Were] and a follow-up, Why Me? Why Not., which arrives next week, so it is reticent about his many bad choices, dismissed in a brief montage as "personal problems."
