    As a good presbyterian boy raised on the north coast of Ireland with a conservative sectarian upbringing I can’t describe how i feel about that Kneecap movie. Is it fantastic, or go hiomlán fucking iontach? (Yes I had to use Google Translate - that’s the real bloody shame 🥲 )

    I loved Hokum. I loved it I loved it I loved it. I tried to express that with slightly more elegance in my review. But come on—getting this beautiful folk horror and a new Kneecap album on the same day??? In this cultural economy??? reactormag.com/movie-review...

    And the Sundance 2024 review you've all been waiting for: as (probably) the only working film critic who studied Irish in Belfast, I am thrilled to say KNEECAP is the best movie about being young in Northern Ireland ever made. It's a fucking scream from start to finish

    I was told I would become more conservative as I grew older but I'm almost 50 and the only Republicans I support are in Ireland. On a slightly related note, the Kneecap movie slaps, or bangs, or whatever superlative the kids say these days. You should see it!

    I loved the Kneecap movie, and I understand they have a massive protestant fanbase, because they have that huge cross community appeal based on shared values (banter, techno, er… drugs..). They will get more protestants speaking irish (bit late for me I can barely pronounce bodhran.)

    Is JJ Ó Dochartaigh in Kneecap the best performance by a musician playing themselves (or a version of themselves) in a movie? He's really good.

    Another sorta-unlikely recommendation from this weekend is the Kneecap movie. Rap music isn’t really my thing, but it’s fantastically performed, beautifully shot, and the underlying message of cultural preservation is powerfully presented.

    There was a big buzz about them across Ireland and Britain in 2023. Their Kneecap Movie premiered in Sundance Jan 2024. For those not familiar..here's a great intro. They are an art project satirising sectarianism - an ugly legacy of colonialism in NI.

    Saw the Kneecap movie the other day and it struck me how little I remember of The Troubles, while growing up. This lad I knew as a teenager, his mum was from Belfast, but don't think I ever heard it discussed when I went round there. All I heard was they'd moved here in the 70s after he was born.
