Kneecap (2024)

Rich Peppiatt directs Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara and DJ Próvai in this fictionalised and heightened biopic about the formation of the North Of Ireland rap trio Kneecap, where the lads play themselves.

Went into this musical caper pretty blind but had an absolute riot. You could hear all the Irish laughing in the Cameo Screen 3. Kneecap has a true Trainspotting energy to it. Snarling editing, visual garble, adrenaline rush. A self harming sense of humour about itself too. I enjoyed all three protagonist separate mini-plot strands and it almost made me want to listen to Irish language rap away from the movie experience. Almost.
