The adaptation of the bestseller is a good and solid "Hollywood" film rather than a great "Foreign" film due to its budget and storytelling, then again the book was targeted to the West. The film is faithful to the book and won't disappoint most of the readers. The film marks a departure for Hollywood studio films which takes risks and won't shy away making films in foreign languages specially a rare language as Dari. If any flaws, it will be visible only to Afghans or anybody who has seen Kabul in the 70's such as myself. The non-Afghan actors do well despite language problems. The kids are the best in this film and Marc Forster knows how to work with child actors as he proved with "Finding Neverland". YRCinema's sneak preview.
