The landmark Knebworth House gigs where Oasis played to 250,000 revellers over two zeitgeist-defining nights are the stuff of Britpop legend. The problem with Jake (son of Ridley) Scott’s doc is the emphasis it puts on the mostly insipid fan memories introducin­g the gig and interjecti­ng throughout. Intended to intensify the nostalgia, the commentary adds little, and the reconstruc­ted interludes distract further. “The music did the talking for them,” recalls one attendee. If only this film allowed the songs the same courtesy. Matt Maytum
