Rapping in their native Irish language, KNEECAP fast become the unlikely
figureheads of a Civil Rights movement to save their mother tongue. But the trio
must first overcome police, paramilitaries and politicians trying to silence

Kneecap


WHAT TO KNOW

Critics Consensus

A rebellious anthem for cultural preservation, Kneecap is as shaggy,
rambunctious, and lovable as the eponymous hip hop group at its center.

Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune If “Kneecap” has a somewhat pushy sense of
broad comedy or, in the final third, some predictable dramatic beats, its visual
invention wins the day, because it’s so comfortably allied with the songs of
protest and release. Rated: 3/4 •  Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Philip De Semlyen
Time Out Can a movie leave you with a comedown? If it’s as raucous and unruly as
Kneecap, a nonstop blizzard of beats, bumps of white powder and punky defiance
of the British and Belfast’s sectarian past, the answer’s a firm "yes." Rated:
4/5 •  Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Music-filled and
spikily edited, “Kneecap” finds rude wit and edge to underscore its needle-drop
righteousness; that it sustains its level so exuberantly is remarkable,
especially considering how hit-and-miss these self-mythologizing projects often
are. Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
While Curtis Hansons’ 8 Mile and Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting are obvious
influences on Rich Peppiatt’s Kneecap, there’s something far more important at
play in this pseudo-biopic of the Irish rap group. Rated: 3.5/4.0 •  Aug 9, 2024
Full Review Chris Wasser Sunday Independent (Ireland) A phenomenal film, one of
the best I’ve seen this year, Kneecap delivers an angular retelling of the
acclaimed West Belfast hip-hop trio’s origins. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Alci
Rengifo Entertainment Voice “Kneecap” feels alive and cinematic, with characters
we grow to care about. If you know little about modern Irish history, the movie
will at least offer a window while being a rowdy good time. Aug 8, 2024 Full
