This is an excellent and challenging film, but I think it may be challenging for some from the Irish and Northern Irish communities – I don’t. I should also add that it is not for those who find the idea of copious drug use/references and strong language offensive – if you are one of those people, don’t watch this.
The music is excellent, whether you understand Irish or not (I don’t)
You do need to be a little familiar with the history of the Troubles etc, but this film is watchable without that – it is a gritty story about struggle and music, and is almost a really fast-paced, more political re-imagining of commitments – for a modern audience. One of the reasons I went was because I heard some of the Kneecap songs and really liked them – I’m in my mid-60s, so this isn’t just for the younger crowd.
The story, acting, direction and script are all really enjoyable and ultimately uplifting
