First, a bit of clarification: this film is not by Oasis. It's about Oasis.

It's billed as “the ultimate critical review of Oasis' Morning Glory ” and is one in a series of critique films that Sexy Intellectual has released that dissect various popular recordings. As such, it's not authorized by Oasis or their management or their record label.

So what you have is basically “talking head” footage from a cadre of British movers and shakers from the Morning Glory era, folks like Oasis biographer Paolo Hewitt, Inspiral Carpets organist (and early Noel Gallagher employee) Clint Boon and early Oasis champion, (and Manchester DJ) Justin Moorhouse.

They go through the album cut by cut, giving their opinions and explaining why they feel that way. The fact that many at the time, including the band, had Oasis pegged as the saviors of rock'n'roll weighs heavily on the editorializing.

There are a few very brief performance snippets, but not enough to warrant a purchase based on them. Buy this one if you are a student of Oasis or a student of rock'n'roll phenomena.
