About this movie

From award-winning director Mat Whitecross and the Academy Award® winning team behind Amy and Senna, SUPERSONIC tells the phenomenal story of iconic band Oasis – in their own words. Featuring extensive unseen archive, SUPERSONIC charts the meteoric rise of Oasis from the council estates of Manchester to some of the biggest concerts of all time in just three short years. This palpable, raw and moving film shines a light on one of the most genre and generation-defining British bands that has ever existed, and features hours of footage of new interviews with Noel and Liam Gallagher, their mother, and members of the band and road crew.

Ratings and reviews

This is the ultimate music documentary even for non-Oasis fans. Indepth interviews with not just Liam and Noel Gallagher but also former bandmates (Bonehead, Tony), family members (brother Paul and mother Peggy.) It also features anecdotes about times before Oasis signed a record contract, after they signed it and the lead up to the big Knebworth gigs that 4% of the British population applied for tickets for. It's the story of the 3 years leading up to this event.

It's a pretty well put together documentary that charts the rapid rise and fall of a very commercially successful indie rock band. The film made me think about the way belief works. The band believed they were the next best thing, so much that the media themselves believed it too. Then the buying public believed it. So they rapidly went global and reached the height of success really quickly. But once they hit that height, their aspirations ran out and they had nothing left to believe in.

Oasis best band there's ever been, listened as long as I remember. From Liams Vocals to Noels solos a band that's sound, always got me buzzing. Magic Documentary Sibling rivalry, fueled with drink, drugs and most importantly the rock n roll. Must see. Get back soon
