Greg Davies: Looking for Kes (TV Movie 2019). 1h

“Iu0026#39;m not the biggest fan of large task-giver Davies but I was really taken with this charming and sarcastic 2019 documentary about the book, itu0026#39;s author, the film and the cultural impact of Kestrel for a Knave. Greg travels to the lands to Barnsley and meets pretty much meets every relevant bod he can lay his hands on. Thereu0026#39;s an admirable brusqueness and genuine anger to proceedings which belays some of the usual mawkishness or nostalgia that may infuse such a project. Much like the story which it covets, thereu0026#39;s some real beauty to it too, watching the real inspiration for Kes (Barry Hinesu0026#39;s own brother) interacting with a Kestrel is as moving as seeing young Billy Casper from the film grown into an earnest old fella.”
