Critics Reviews:

• ”“The Kite Runner is dramatically and visually sumptuous”“ – Jonathan F. Richards (Film.com)

• ”“By the time it arrives at its final kite-flying scene back in the Bay Area, The Kite Runner has soared occasionally, but remains too grounded for its own good in the book from which it was supposed to spring.”“ – Bruce Newman (San Jose Mercury News)

• ”“Based on Khaled Hosseini’s highly regarded novel, this story of exile, ambition and betrayal has an emotional power that outstrips its occasional implausibiliti­es.”“ – Anthony Quinn (Independent (UK))

• ”“An engaging melodrama whose less convincing plot points are superseded by some astonishingly affecting performances from the mostly unknown cast.”“ – Dan Jolin (Empire Magazine)
