A deeply unsettling experience.

Palmer's film is brutally compelling to look at, as the lads get down to face-rearranging, but it also carries a lot of tragic historical freight. Dec 9, 2011 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

While it's frustrating that Mr. Palmer doesn't dig deep into the complexities of the fights, one of the movie's strengths is the honesty with which he confesses his doubts about them. Dec 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5

Though you will wish for more polish and insight, its unruly action is hard to resist. Dec 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Knuckle largely skirts exploitation, simply by virtue of showing this conflict perpetuate itself over so many years. Clans like the Quinn McDonaghs and the Joyces seem destined to fight for generations after they've forgotten their rationale. Dec 8, 2011 | Full Review…

While the film becomes slightly redundant, the anger and strife its characters cannot overcome is awful, poetic and, frankly, astonishing. Dec 8, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Knuckle doesn't get as near to the heart of Traveller culture as it had the opportunity to. It's a golden opportunity, squandered. Aug 6, 2018 | Full Review…

An extraordinarily compelling and hard-hitting portrait of two Irish families and their decades-old, bare-knuckled feud. Jan 3, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

A time machine of ancient tradition spotlighting bloody and violent bare-knuckle fighting that is as much legend as reality. Fascinating from start to finish. Dec 18, 2011 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
