The acting's horrible, the character's voices are too echoey, you can hardly understand a word anyone's saying, the storyline's rubbish and it's just plain boring.
0/10!
I can think of lots of horrible, rubbish and boring things (or people?) - but none of those adjectives can be used to describe 'Kes'. It would be worth studying the craft of Ken Loach before criticising his films, also being aware of the location and setting of the film, hence the Northern accents. If you can't work out what the film is about, reading some of the reviews would help - although to be fair, half the population of Britain studied this as a set book at school so we know it inside out and backwards. (Why not see it again, and try and apply some lateral thinking next time, instead of just dashing off a spurious one-line critique?!)
shareIt has a very sad (but probably realistic) ending and although I would not consider it the best UK film ever made, it´s faaaaar from being crap!

THGhost we can be assured not to trust your judgement on films then. Not only is this not crap, it is one of the greatest of all British films.
shareJust seen a clip on TV tonight showing a scene where the Headmaster is telling the boys to stop coughing in Assembly whilst he was reading the notices. Was this a pet hate of teachers cos I can remember the same thing happening at my school!? Great scene showing how ludicrous a little power can make you.
shareI worked down a mine with some older ex-coal miners. The actor who played Jud was an overseer down their pit and they said he was a million miles from his character. They say he was kind, polite and would do anything for his fellow miners. He potrayed a bastard very well.
Joe Hallenbeck. *beep* You Sarah, You're a lying bitch, if the cops weren't here Id spit in your face

shareStop being so f---ing closed minded.
