“Oasis” feels like a bit of a theme at Venice this year, with at least two movies featuring that word in their titles. One is Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern’s Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, a documentary about the reunion tour of the famous English rock band.

At the start of her eponymous reality show “Earle Meets World,” the influencer Alix Earle promises that while “there’s a whole other side” of the creator economy “people don’t get to see,” her viewers are “gonna see everything in this show.” I hope for Earle’s sake she isn’t telling the truth, because if “Earle Meets World” really does contain the full scope of the TikTok star’s jet-setting lifestyle, it’s one of strikingly limited range.
