King Of The Travellers – Review

Mike McCahill, Guardian Unlimited: Film
Thu, 03/28/2013 - 3:15pm

A drama about bareknuckle fighting in the Traveller community has some crowd-pleasing moments, but there's not a lot to itThis feels like a fictionalisation of Ian Palmer's 2011 doc, Knuckle, about rival clans of itinerants holding bare-fisted donnybrooks in Irish laybys, but the tone is erratic. Writer-director Mark O'Connor aims for authenticity, tying the Travellers to those other migrant labourers persecuted by locals.
