Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The filmmakers go by the book in The Kite Runner, a literate, if occasionally listless adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's best-selling novel.

fresh:
If The Kite Runner flies only to flutter and fall a bit, at least it flies for a while.

rotten:
The Kite Runner is earnest and sentimental and formulaic and obvious. Watching it, I could understand the fuss over Khaled Hosseini's bestselling novel, but the film didn't make me want to read it.

fresh:
A respectful adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's 2003 novel.

fresh:
The Kite Runner is dramatically and visually sumptuous
