“Rich Peppiatt, making his feature debut after directing one of the band’s videos, brings a manic, irreverent energy to the film. But the driving force is the band.”
★★★★ Wendy Ide, Observer
"Hard-punching and cheerfully riotous, the film directs a well-placed kick at the nether regions to anyone who insists music, politics and cinema cannot mix.
★★★★ Ed Power, Daily Telegraph
“It’s a film that not only signals a major musical arrival, but ends up feeling a lot bigger than the conventional (and often confining) boundaries of the “music biopic”.”
★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independent
“Having the mordant wit and tonal confidence to parlay The Troubles into a punchline, Kneecap has laughs, smarts and verve to spare.”
★★★★ Ian Freer, Empire Magazine
“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.””
★★★★ Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
