Soundtracks Belfast performed by Orbital. User reviews 75 Review. Featured review. You never knew you needed Irish hiphop in your life. Brilliant comedy and great music. Never knew I was a fan of Irish hip-hop. As a Belgian, I certainly missed some of the specifically Northern Irish jokes, but there are so many that the film remains hilarious. Think Trainspotting, but more cheerful and with a school teacher and background politics.
The energy and charisma of the Kneecap lads is truly infectious. Their performances, fuelled by a healthy dose of ketamine, bring very funny film scenes. But beyond just the music, the film does an excellent job of weaving in the complex social and political realities of life in Northern Ireland. The film depicts the lives of contemporary Belfast youth, who know the Troubles only from stories but have never experienced them themselves.
