Kes is a very emotional film based on a little kid keeping and training a kestrel. This is his fantastic story.
Kes really put me on the edge of my seat, wondering what will happen next. To be truthful, i even got upset at the end, and im pretty sure the person sitting next to did to! This is different from most films as the actors in the film, aren't actual actors! They were picked from the location of filming, from a handful of school boys! This is a great film and made me never watch a film from the same perspective again.
