Sundance Audience Award-winning Irish language hip-hop comedy Kneecap is in cinemas from today! Rich Peppiatt’s #BFIBacked debut feature is a heightened retelling of Kneecap’s origin story, starring the real-life group and co-starring Michael Fassbender. It's raucous, it's hilarious, it's bold and brash, it moves you and it makes you want to get up and dance. Kneecap is best seen with a crowd - don't miss it on the big screen! #NationalLottery
