Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, Naoise Ó Cairealláin, and JJ Ó Dochartaigh walk up the stairs in Kneecap.
The Big Picture This review was originally part of our coverage for the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
What Is 'Kneecap' About? Beginning with a cheeky acknowledgment of how some of the less interesting elements of Irish cinema can flatten decades of history into just being a quick succession of explosion shots, we get a humorous flashback recreation of Fassbender’s patriarch flipping off a police helicopter while a baptism takes place.
Thus, when the group begins not just speaking, but also rapping in Irish, they start to find an audience of people who similarly want to maintain a connection to this part of themselves. Though the trio are still mostly musical maniacs looking to either get high or get laid, which leads to several uproarious sex scenes, they end up becoming part of something bigger than themselves. The trouble is, the film can often make them and this journey feel a little small.
