Oasis: Supersonic Reviews
This new film about Oasis's glory years is rousing, heart-rending and really funny.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 23, 2021
'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.

. So, in a nutshell, it's all about insecurity and OASIS: SUPERSONIC dials in on the sibling rivalry with respect to the family and enough conflict to make audiences members, such as myself, salivate.
| Original Score: B+ | Dec 10, 2018
Feisty and unapologetic, Oasis: Supersonic impishly encourages a radical ride on Oasis' symbolically aforementioned "Champagne Supernova." The feral Gallaghers would probably prefer you travel without any safety hats.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018
Oasis: Supersonic is one of the better musical documentaries of recent years, as it finds a visual and storytelling correlative to honour the spirit of its subject - Oasis.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 1, 2018
Ultimately, it's rather like Oasis themselves: Too bloody much of a just-pretty-good thing. Of course, diehard Britpop devotees may feel otherwise.

Supersonic is a poignant, perfect summation of one of British music's greatest ever bands and one of its true forces of nature.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Apr 11, 2018
As singalong hagiographies go, Oasis: Supersonic is rock solid.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2017
Director Mat Whitecross cleverly focuses on the band's best period -- beginning on the council estates of Burnage in 1991 and ending five years later in front of a quarter of a million fans at Knebworth.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 31, 2016
Using only archival footage and narration from those in and around the band, it chronicles Oasis' story in an entertaining fashion that doesn't shy away from the Gallagher brothers' brash and egotistical personalities.
| Original Score: B- | Dec 28, 2016
You can't help but root for these belligerent, confrontational delinquents to make good.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 15, 2016
By eschewing cultural context, outside voices, or songwriting analysis, the film matches the group's insular arrogance, although there's genuine insight into the family dynamic.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 9, 2016
Deliriously enjoyable.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 16, 2016
Future documentarians, please don't put your films in the hands of a rock-'n'-roll band. They'll throw it all away.
| Original Score: C+ | Nov 2, 2016
Provides a fine, if hectic snapshot of the golden years of the band-the triumphs onstage and the brotherly bickering backstage.
| Original Score: B | Nov 1, 2016
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 30, 2016
Still, if Supersonic told the whole story, and embraced the glory and the silliness of Oasis, I'd wager that it would make Oasis seem more mythic, not less.

[While] Oasis: Supersonic is simply a record of a band that got really big and then broke up... director Mat Whitecross does deserve credit for digging into the truly awful domestic situation that forged the brothers' contentious personalities.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2016
A fascinating documentary about music and life, neighborhood metaphors not based on education and culture, but in something almost congenital. [Full review in Spanish]
