Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger to All We Imagine As Light: the seven best films to watch on TV this week

With more sold-out dates next year, 90s rock blokes Oasis are sustaining the pomp and circumstance they generated with their 2025 reunion, the subject of this entertaining film. Directors Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, with writer Steven Knight, document the tour from tense rehearsals to the warm glow of US acclaim – and, more interestingly, the thawing of relations between Liam and Noel Gallagher after 15 years of silence. The brothers’ contrasting styles are endlessly fascinating: Liam, with his “big boy pants” on, is cocky and sharply witty, while a nervous Noel seems surprised at how well it’s all going. The hatchet-burying takes a while but there’s always a singalong hit to catch while you wait.

Kill

A non-stop train is a terrific vehicle for an action thriller. The good guys and the bad guys are trapped together and there’s minimal space to swing a sickle, so you have to come up with original ways to disable your foe. In Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s relentlessly bloody, often exhilarating Indian film, top commando Amrit (Lakshya) boards the New Delhi service to be with his secret lover, who is engaged to another, but this coincides with a heist by a family of bandits, led by the psychotic Fani (Raghav Juyal). It’s the one against the many, but no prizes for guessing the result.

The Deb

Rebel Wilson’s directorial debut is the subject of long-running legal disputes but you wouldn’t know it from watching this sweet, simple musical comedy. It’s set up as a city v country clash: rebellious Sydney teenager Maeve (Charlotte MacInnes) is banished to the bush to stay with farming cousin Taylah (Natalie Abbott) in “the town where feminism has come to die” – and where the debutante ball is still a thing. Issues of body positivity and stifled ambition are showcased in songs with a certain Aussie pep (the first one is titled Fuck My Life).

The Order

Jude Law adds to his recent run of interesting character choices (Putin, Henry VIII, a Star Wars villain) in Justin Kurzel’s gripping fact-based crime thriller. He plays FBI agent Terry Husk, whose new posting to rural Idaho comes with an Aryan Nation splinter group, led by Nicholas Hoult’s charismatic Robert Jay Mathews, who are progressing from counterfeiting and bank robbery to something much bigger. Law’s Husk is a convincingly raddled near has-been but he’s a dog with a bone when he gets a sniff of Mathews’s racist plot.

The Crime Is Mine

Prolific French director François Ozon is the master of many genres, and the comic melodrama – of which this is his latest – is his most effortlessly enjoyable. In 1935 Paris, struggling actor Madeleine (Nadia Tereszkiewicz) is falsely accused of killing a famous theatre producer. However, aided by her flatmate, lawyer Pauline (Rebecca Marder), she plans to confess to “legitimate defence”, hoping the publicity will be good for both their careers. That is, until Isabelle Huppert’s wrecking ball of a silent film star pops up.

All We Imagine As Light

This exceptional Cannes-winning drama from Payal Kapadia explores life in Mumbai through the eyes of three women. Senior nurse Prabha (Kani Kusruti) is married, but her husband is absent working in Germany. Her young colleague and flatmate Anu (Divya Prabha) is a Hindu secretly in love with a Muslim boy. And hospital cook Parvaty (Chhaya Kadam) is facing the demolition of her home by developers. As their intimate, involving stories unfold, Kapadia reveals a bustling, rain-soaked, ever-changing city – a place that draws migrants such as them but never truly feels like home.

Longlegs

This is a film in which every shot is creepy. Whether it’s a weird angle, shadowy lighting or just some pale yellow walls (as seen in Backrooms), there’s an ever-present dread that something bad is going to happen – and it very often does. Osgood Perkins’ nerve-shredding horror follows a series of crimes in which fathers murder their families, then kill themselves. Left at each scene is a letter in code, signed “Longlegs”. Maika Monroe’s intuitive FBI agent Lee takes the case and becomes increasingly haunted by it, while Nicolas Cage gives a suitably out-there cameo as her nemesis.
