Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
KNEECAP
Synopsis
There are 80,000 native Irish speakers in Ireland. 6,000 live in the North of Ireland. Three of them became a rap group called Kneecap. This anarchic Belfast trio becomes the unlikely figurehead of a civil rights movement to save the mother tongue.

Our take
Featuring Michael Fassbender in a feisty supporting turn, Rich Peppiatt’s riotous music biopic stars famed hip-hop trio Kneecap as themselves. Rebelling against class division with provocative wordplay and earth-shaking beats, their swaggering tunes revitalize Irish Gaelic for a new generation.
