Critic Reviews
-
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader
A classic of British social realism.
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Simply, the filmmakers have brought the background of the boy's life vividly into reality.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Loach is not a director of notable style, nor can he often refuse the obvious shot, but he seems to have a remarkable talent for handling actors and obtaining performances that are truly memorable.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Kes is Loach at his best.
-
Philip French, Observer [UK]
The only Loach film I rate more highly is his Spanish civil war picture, Land and Freedom.
