I really enjoyed watching this one. Fred Estair and Judy Garland were both great in their roles. I was a little surprised that the only thing this had to do with Easter is the beginning and ending where it was little more then mentioned that the Easter Parade was going on. I think the main reason I am surprised by it is because that is after all the title of the movie. Either way an enjoyable movie that I would recommend.

Kes, a review by Antares

Kes (1969) 72/100 - The film shines when it delves into the relationship between the boy and the kestrel. Unfortunately, these scenes only occupy about 15 out of its 111 minute run time. The rest of the film deals with the crappy existence that this poor kid is being raised in, and while it's important to understanding why he becomes attached to the bird and detached from his environment, it tends to linger on certain scenes a bit too long. I felt there were wholesale segments that could have been edited out and the film would have been no worse for wear. This does have to be one of the best childhood performances I've ever seen. David Gregory was unknown and had little acting experience when he was picked to play the role, but he looks like he's a seasoned veteran of the silver screen. He's never over the top and every emotion he emits is true to life. I wish I liked it more than I did, for me, it came across as an English version of The 400 Blows, but at least it was more believable in its premise than that film.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is
