The ending was rushed and idk why they changed it
The book was so great, the film could never truly live up to it. Still a good watch
The movie was great, but not as touching as the book. Still it is a good movie and a great watch.
Great adaptation of a great book. Prepare to cry.
Confronting story. The kite flying scenes are beautifully made.
Solid adaptation of a tragic book that almost seemed too heavy for the screen
Movie is nowhere near the book in any aspect.
A good adaptation of a good novel. Not necessarily life-changing, but good and meaningful.
If you think about watching it, you might as well read the book instead. Or if you already did, read it again.
A haunting reflection on guilt and loyalty, and redemption. Loved the movie as much as the book!
