Transcription
Synopsis

Reception
Box office
Oasis: Supersonic opened in theatres for 16 days.[8] It has grossed $242,867 in the United States and Canada and $1.2 million in other countries for a worldwide total of $1.5 million, and sales of its DVD/Blu-ray releases have cashed $182,049.[1]
Critical response
Oasis: Supersonic received positive reviews from critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 84%, based on 56 reviews, with an average score of 7.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Oasis: Supersonic forgoes a comprehensive approach to its multi-platinum subjects in favor of an appreciative—and stirring—look at their heady early years."[9] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 71 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[10]
In a positive review, David Ehrlich of Indiewire praised the documentary's insight into Liam and Noel's relationship, describing it as "a poignant and insightful look into one of the most openly fractious sibling rivalries of our time."[11] The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw was critical on the absence of the group's post-1996 period, as well as the disregarding of the band's chart battle with Blur in 1995, Noel's endorsement of Tony Blair and the band's decline in popularity. He gave the film three out of five stars.[12] Brian Tallerico expressed similar sentiments in a review for RogerEbert.com, giving it two and a half out of four stars. He summarised: "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."[13]
