Review of The Kite Runner (2007) by Em L — 20 Nov 2011

I loved The Kite Runner as a book, but somehow the film didn't seem to move me as much as the book did. Maybe it was because almost all of the dialogue was in a foreign language, which left me just reading the somewhat simplistic subtitles.

I did like it though. From what I remember of the novel, the movie did stay true to it. It could have been a little shorter though - some parts moved slowly or were simply unnecessary. And I understand the controversy behind it.
