This week’s titles at the Irish Film Institute from Friday, 9th August2024, include Kneecap and Radical. Read on for a selection of reviews or pop in to make up your own mind!
“Kneecap, the first film yet selected by any country to compete for best international picture at the 2025 Oscars, offers practical evidence that progress is possible. And also that progress can be a blast.” 4 stars – The Irish Times
“Our leading men are terrific – Fassbender is the best he’s been in a long time. You won’t see a more entertaining biopic this year. A triumph.” 5 stars – The Independent
“Truly, this is an important film, as far from vanity project or ah-bless offering as you could possibly get and where the only notions to be dispelled are your own. It can’t be stressed enough just how well Kneecap works.” 5 stars – RTÉ
“The film still proves an authentically moving and involving crowd-pleaser.” LA Times
“Derbez, always a charismatic screen presence, is at his best interacting with young people, as he did playing the music teacher in “Coda”” 3.5/4 stars – Roger Ebert
