      Peter Howell Toronto Star It’s potent stuff — much sex, drugs, profanity and violence — but also quite funny. Rated: 3/4 Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Derek Smith Slant Magazine Much of Rich Peppiatt’s film isn’t about respectability, but rather debasement, and sugar-coating Kneecap’s widespread antics isn’t on the menu. Rated: 3/4 Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Carlos Aguilar Variety Bursting with unruly energy that practically escapes the confines of the screen, “Kneecap” is a riotous, drug-laced triumph in the name of freedom that bridges political substance and crowd-pleasing entertainment. Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Lauren Coates Offscreen Central Fierce, foul-mouthed, and spearheaded by Peppiatt’s fearless direction, Kneecap pays delightful, dirty homage to a trio of unlikely revolutionaries. Rated: A- Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots It comes down to this: when cops don’t want people hearing your music, that’s when you know you’re doing something right. Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Gavin Spoors Mediaversity Reviews While Kneecap's hip-hop trio hammers home the importance of culture and community, it’s a shame that the sole non-white character is nothing more than a goofy henchman.
