'Kes'

Kind of a Billy Elliot except with a falcon.

At times during this film, I looked to somehow get the English subtitles going despite the fact that the film was already English. Filmed in Barnsley where the book is set, the actors maintained their Yorkshire accents, which lead me to not really understanding quite a bit of dialogue.

I pretty much depended on tone and behavior to understand, to some degree, what was going on.

I have a friend who is British and he says that certain British TV shows require subtitles due to the outrageous accents. Of course, I needed a translator for me to fully understand what he was saying.
