If you loved Kes, the closest films we have are Diary of a Country Priest (1951), How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) and Rebel Without a Cause (1955). All three share Kes' contemplative feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is House of Hummingbird (2019).

If Kes hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: small town life
The difference: Easier on the wistfulness than Kes

Both keep coming back to the same thing: growing up
The difference: 54 years apart, and the 2020s show


The same mix in both: stillness, then wistfulness

Both are built on the same subject: brothers and sisters

The same preoccupation in both: small town life

Cozy drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to comedy than Kes does


Drama with a pulse of wistfulness, in both cases
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

A streak of stillness through both

The shared currency is wistfulness

Both working the same drama territory
