- TriviaThis failed to get a release in British cinemas, or any London showing. As the film was seen by a few critics, who praised it highly, this was something of a scandal in 1965, especially as the one earlier feature film directed by Desmond Davis, "Girl With Green Eyes" (1964), had been extensively lauded, with Davis hailed as an exciting new directing talent. The film was made for British Lion, a company which was in a very bad way by the mid-60s, with a number of its films (e.g., "The Leather Boys", "Hide And Seek", "A Place To Go") being shelved for lengthy periods, usually about two years, before getting shown in cinemas. Although it was better-liked than almost all of theses delayed films, "The Uncle" had the worse fate of not being screened at all; it has hardly ever been on British television, either.

Featured review
Outstanding!
Those who love movies entered at major film festivals will love it! An art house movie through and through! It only looks like it was made for kiddies, as it features a 7 year old wondering about the world around him. It is about personal discovery, chuksren and grown-ups, dealing with bullying, love, one's place in the society, urban vs ryral and so many other things children begin to get at that age.
A masterful cinematography throughout only helps lift the movie to a higher level. A word of caution though - if you're seeking entertainment, skip this one. Plenty of contemplative moments, that fun-seekers will find dull.
