Brilliant film
- The Kite Runner review by CP Customer
One of the best films I've seen in ages! Good story line and had me glued to the screen! Not read the book so can't compare it.

Enjoyed this film
- The Kite Runner review by CP Customer
I thought this was an excellent film, the acting by the two young boys in Afghanistan was top draw. the two boys grow up in Afghanistan one the son of a servant, the other a buisness mans son, but are separated by the Russian invasion. One goes to America with his father and receives a phone call 30years later that takes him back home to a different country that he left. Well worth watching!!

Devoted friendship
- The Kite Runner review by TB
A story of devoted friendship alongside the back drop of the turmoil in Afghanistan. The story is well told and well acted with the final scene in particular striking the right note.
I’ve been told the book is better, so I’m looking forward to reading it.
3.5 out of 4.

Incredibly good film
- The Kite Runner review by CC
The moving story of 2 childhood friends who kite together, within a mix of friendship, betrayal and loyalty, and become men against a background of brutality, struggle, marriage, happiness disaster, rescue, determination and redemption. The bullying in childhood and Taliban scenes later are hard to watch, but the story was also completely enmeshed in bravery, renewal and hope.
Beautiful cinematography, evocative scenery and understated acting move the story along and make the characters very real.
I had to buy the book - the mark of an excellent film and a thoughtful storyteller.
