The Kneecap film was up for nominations in several Bafta categories. Alamy

Poll: Have you watched the Kneecap movie?

The film has received critical acclaim but missed out in the outstanding film category at the Baftas last night.

THE KNEECAP MOVIE missed out in the ‘outstanding’ film category at the Baftas last night but director Rich Peppiatt came away with the prize for ‘outstanding debut’ for his directorial work.

The film is a dramatised depiction of the rise of Kneecap, a Belfast rap trio of the same name, as they find themselves inadvertently becoming the face of a movement to preserve the Irish language.

The hit film has received critical acclaim since it came out last August and performed well at the Box Office too.

Are you among those who’ve seen it?

    Great idea to scrap a panel of recruits they had about 4 years ago where they had this exact issue then too!

    And that panel they assembled had cost us the taxpayer over 250k assemble! JOKERS!!

    This is a whole load of hockum about nothing.

    And they want to build high rise fire Hazards all over Dublin. Should the city manager be charged with endangering life? Do a poll on the journal please.
