Kneecap is an Irish hip-hop trio from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2017. The group consists of Mo Chara (Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh), Móglaí Bap (Naoise Ó Cairealláin), and DJ Próvaí (J. J. Ó Dochartaigh). They rap in a mix of English and Irish, using their music to address themes like working-class youth culture, Irish language rights, Irish republicanism, and political dissent.
Their name, Kneecap, is a wordplay referencing both the paramilitary punishment of shooting someone in the knee and the Irish phrase ní cheapaim ("I don't think so"). Their stage imagery, including balaclavas and Irish tricolours, draws from Troubles-era symbolism, while their lyrics often challenge British rule and advocate for Northern Ireland’s unification with the Republic of Ireland.
Kneecap gained international attention with their 2024 biographical film Kneecap, directed by Rich Peppiatt, which won the Sundance Film Festival’s NEXT Audience Award and was nominated for six BAFTAs. The film, starring the band as themselves, highlighted their rise from Belfast’s underground scene to global fame.
Despite criticism, Kneecap is credited with leading a revival of the Irish language in youth culture and is celebrated as a cultural force in Northern Ireland’s post-Troubles identity.

We watched it after seeing your post. That was quite a scene in the beginning when Maddie talks to her friends about the wealthy parents offering a car to her to have sex with their son and the girls comically revealed other situations in their past.
Timely, with the allegations against Swallwell coming out.

@Lagom Kneecap is really out there. I don't agree with their later political stance which barred them from entry into the U.S. (But many people mistakenly conflate the invasion of foreigners into Ireland with the Palestinians invasion and killings into Israel.)
And I don't use drugs and rarely drink.
But Kneecap will take you on a hilarious journey played by the actual members of the rap group. So, when you are in the mood, get ready for youthful nudity, profanity, drugs and, yes, redemption.
But tell your wife that I will refund your $3.99 if you watch it all the way through and don't think it was worthwhile.
BTW, my wife and I watch ALL our movies with English Subtitles on. For instance in The Chosen there are people speaking in the background which you cannot hear but the subtitle pick up. And since Kneecap is partly in Gaelic you will want to do so.

Speaking of movies with Molly Ringwald
When I first heard the Psychedelic Furs, I laughed. I didn't see how anyone could like Butler's raspy voice... But then it grew on me. After that, Molly's moment with Pretty in Pink entered the collective conscience. I never saw the movie, but the song is epic...

Wow, you have some movies there which we have not seen. Some look pretty quirky, but I added them to my Amazon watch list.
