If you loved Kes, try The Wind That Shakes the Barley
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ken Loach, and they both carry the gut punch, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Kes, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Wind That Shakes the Barley is
You plan to practice medicine in London of the 1920s. But occupying forces raid the farm of your friends, killing a local. Damien joins his brother in the Irish Republican Army. Loach's film quietly simmers, never letting you settle on one brother's view. It lingers in the silences between them.
