Review of The Kite Runner (2007) by George X — 10 Feb 2013

This film is full of beautiful cinematography, and the camerawork during the kite-flying scenes is almost as uplifting as the friendship between young Amir Jan and Hassan. I could not stomach the cowardness of Amir Jan throughout the film, and although it was a necessary element, it was portrayed too effectively for my liking.

I hated the main character, and unfortunately, that interfered with my full appreciation for this film.
