Liam: As It Was

If you're a fan of Liam you're going to see this documentary regardless of what anyone says. I ignored any reviews before watching it and I honestly didn't expect it to be so candid and personal. I knew that Charlie Lightening had been filming Liam for a long time but I was unaware of the amount of footage there was. This film documents Liams journey from rock bottom at the end of Oasis to his journey with the under appreciated Beady Eye and straight back to the top where he rightly belongs with his solo career. The majority of this film is new footage and is worth watching for any fan.

It started off well with the announcement at the Paris gig. Some really gritty insight that I was interested in as I hadn't seen it before.

But then it lost pace and was a pure attempt to prove that Liam wasn't the old idiot everyone loved/hated. I'm a diehard oasis fan but this felt like a feeble attempt to get Noel to talk to him again. Liam has great musical talent but he needs to stop trying to do oasis without Noel. I really wanted to see insight into the split and the aftermath. But this was just his manager/girlfriend chatting propaganda

Sorry Liam, I love you but this movie wasn't needed and didn't work, a short interview would have been enough. I had to fast forward after a few minutes in to see if anything good was coming up but nothing, the 2 minute trailer is all you need and even that maybe too much. In contrast I loved Oasis Supersonic documentary, well made and highly recommended.

If you're a fan of Oasis, Liam, music, or comeback stories you should find this worth your time. I've rented it twice. I've always been a fan of Oasis, but this made me realize I honestly didn't know much. I've been binging and learning their history the last 3 months since watching this. And congrats to Liam, his solo career is a great success.

This documentary is a telling of the tale of Liam Gallagher's personal journey after the breakup of Oasis. This is about the rebirth of a musician finding his place in the world again after the end of a major part of his life - Lazarus emerging from the flames even stronger. It's an honest and raw look into his world tour between 2017-18. A must-see for any Oasis/Liam fan
