Review: Kneecap (Sundance 2024) ... What it is: A comedic origin story for the Irish speaking rap group Kneecap, who play themselves.With their defiant, drug fueled music they spark controversy and struggle to survive as both police and members of the R.R.A.D. ... What We Think: Holy hell this movie was fun! Great music, great comedy, a story that makes you feel empathy for the struggles Kneecap goes through, it is an awesome, awesome movie.
Rich Peppiatt, making his feature debut after directing one of the band’s videos, brings a manic, irreverent energy to the film, incorporating scrawled animation that looks like toilet-door graffiti brought to life. But the driving force is the band, and performances that, if not polished exactly, are packed to the gills with bad-boy charisma.Original reporting and incisive analysis, direct from the Guardian every morning.
