um
By James from England , 21 May 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
i was expecting an utter classic. i knew it would be slow, grey and 'naturalistic' in the ken loach sense - i loved 'the wind that shakes the barley' - but it was just too slow, grey and naturalistic. and it has dated badly. there are very funny bits (megalomaniac PE teacher) but i dunno, the whole thing just reminded me of a holey, brown sock that has been discarded for nearly forty years.- Was this review helpful to you?

(91)A bleak film
By a customer , 28 Feb 2013This is a hard film to watch. I did so a number of months ago but it's bleak setting and uncomfortable family relationships are hard to forget. There are glimmers of hope in the relationship of the boy with his bird of prey but this is not one to watch if you need cheering up.- Was this review helpful to you?

Love Film need to replenish their stock
By JTG (1 review) , 02 Sep 2012Whish I could review this film but its yet another Love Film DVD which arrived damaged and unwatchable - this is happening on a regular basis and all Love Film do is send you a stock email which must be sent out on a regular basis nowadays. Shame.- Was this review helpful to you?

A Classic for it's Age
By a customer , 05 Jun 2012I've been looking forward to seeing this movie for some time as I've heard good reviews about it. I was not disappointed and thought it really worth watching.
'Kes' is a real classic for it's age and I think this fact must be taken into consideration when viewing. At the time of filming in 1969, Ken Loach, the director, could not have had all the visual effect tools at his disposal as a director of his caliber would have been able to call upon today. Reflecting upon this fact, I think the film was well made and held it's own with the storyline which was very realistic for the day. The acting was good and a special mention should be given to David Bradley in the part of Billy Casper.
Do I have any criticisms ... yes, but only one, 'Kes' had rather a strange ending ... a bit abrupt for my liking.- Was this review helpful to you?

Left no trace
By Misstiti (17 reviews) , 11 Feb 2012I watched it a few weeks ago, but unfortunately I have no memory of it. I remember a boy and a bird, and the bird is with the boy and the boy is with the bird. Ooops i think i spoiled it now........might have been good though, but i don't remember....- Was this review helpful to you?
