Editor’s note: Kneecap (2024) succinctly blends its Music, Comedy, and Drama elements without coming off as clichéd. Rich Peppiatt excels in crafting a focused narrative that highlights character development over needless spectacle. The performances, particularly from Móglaí Bap, Mo Chara, and DJ Próvaí, ground the film in relatable experiences. The 1 hour 45 minutes runtime fits the storyline well. Though not without its flaws, the strengths of the film more than compensate for its occasional rough spots. Its tagline—“Mind your language.”—captures the essence of its message. If the concept intrigues you, be sure to add this film to your watchlist.
