Review of Kes (1970) by Matt M — 03 Apr 2008

This movie reminds me so much of growing up in Yorkshire, with my dad working down the pit.

I had to watch this film for my GCSE's. I still holds a soft spot for me, and is something that I like to come back to now and again.

The film really depicts life in Northern England, and the harsh reality's of the surroundings. You don't really have much to look forward too, and there is little point in making goals for yourself.

Great performance by the local cast of actors, a nice gentle storyline (if a little sad at the end) and generally a good movie.
