Tom Dunne: Here's why Kneecap is already my favourite film of the year

A scene from the Kneecap

Your reaction to Kneecap – my film of the year - will largely depend on when you were born. If you are a “Ceasefire Baby” – born after the Good Friday Agreement – well, I can’t really talk for you. However, if like me, you were born “some time before that” then strap yourself in!

Prepare for a white-knuckle ride. Prepare to be challenged, prepare to want the film paused so you can ask questions or google certain historic facts, and prepare to repeatedly say “No! You can’t! Please!” out loud, to nobody in particular.
