Bande annonce
12 years in the making, Knuckle is an outsiders rare and candid journey into the world of the Irish Traveller community and its bare-knuckle fighting culture.-
Knuckle is a brilliantly brutal and intriguingly insightful look into the bare-knuckle fights staged between a series of Irish Traveller families as they prolong a long-running feud. Director Ian Palmer has constructed a gripping film that offers no simple criticisms or answers, but superbly records a subculture where violence and honour come knuckle-to-knuckle.
Mark Adams, Screen Daily -
As a bruising study in masculine temperament and the ways in which cycles of violence can be controlled and mediated -- yet also perpetuated and inflamed -- in a public arena, pic is unavoidably compelling stuff.
Justin Chang, Variety -
The fighters hit hard, and so does the movie.
Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter
