While Oasis: Supersonic is never boring, especially for fans, it's also not quite deep enough to justify its narrow focus, especially at its overlong running time.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 25, 2016

It may surprise people who've experienced the Gallaghers only in tabloid-fodder mode that "Supersonic" teems with stirring and even moving moments.

Like spending two hours between Liam and Noel Gallagher, for better or worse.
