Liam (& Noel) are some of the most entertaining people in the rock business - they have a lot of attitude and humor, and even if they're often unlikeable, they're still very funny. They're also of course famous for being hotel-room-trashing rock stars with a lot of conflict between them.
In this movie we see Liam trying to get his act together and move on with his career after the split of Oasis, but it's just done in a very uinteresting and uninformative way. There's a lot of interviews with people calling the music "great" and Liam a "genius", but there's very little of the actual music in the film, let alone the process behind it. The interviews with Liam are filled with variations on "yeah, you just gotta keep on going, know what i mean?", and not a lot of reflections on himself, Noel, his life or his career. I'm not really sure what the audience for this movie is - I guess it's supposed to portray Liam's new music as something worthwhile and great, and while it is certainly quite nice (especially his latest album), it's just not on a level of "genius" that the film would like to have you believe (without ever really playing much of the music for you, or letting us see more than a 15-second continuous clip from a concert). Overall, very dull and uinteresting (unlike the Supersonic documentary, which really captures the madness and chaos of Oasis).
