This is possible my favourite film of all time. The characters and story are so real it is almost like a fly on the wall documentary. The child actors are fantastic. For a long time I was confused as to wether they were actors or children in an actualy school. The boy that takes the part of Billy Casper is brilliant and I often wonder if he was actually acting or if he was playing himself and I often wonder what happened to him. The adults are equaly well suited to each role with Brian Glovers PE teacher being the most memorable.The story is a sad one that Im sure has happened thousands of times throughout the land. The story of a young boy from a broken home that the education system has failed and passed by. The interaction with big brother Juddand the cruel school children is brilliantly played out. Every aspect of the film is just perfect.When you consider the budget and hype put into such modern film as The Lord of The Rings etc there is just no comparison. Give me Kes any day.   ... >>
