The Kite Runner examines and explores such complex emotions and relationships that are worth the journey in itself.

The deviation from standard structuring is just one more element that is terribly predictable.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 26, 2020

Fundamentally out of focus. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2020

It is easily one of 2007's most inspiring and rewarding cinematic experiences.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

A shockingly bungled opportunity for greatness and quite possibly the most disappointing film of 2007.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

Forster can't solely blame the impossibility of condensing the breadth of a 350-page novel into two hours of screen time, but his own shoddy realisation too.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2018

The Kite Runner serves as a reminder that grief is universal; that, regardless of our cultural differences, humanity will always find common ground in devastation.

A remarkable story with tremendous human interest, about people we think we've figured out, but about whom we actually know next to nothing.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 6, 2008

Es un poco inevitable sentir que la pelcula transcurre casi como un trmite, sin permitirle al espectador una aproximacin mucho ms sensible a la historia.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2008

A skilfully made and subtly powerful film, with a disarmingly human protagonist whose efforts seem all the more real, given his weaknesses and the movie's authentic feel.

The Kite Runner will no doubt warm the hearts of its intended audience, but its nature is one of dubious flattery.
