From NetFlix:
Years after fleeing the Taliban and immigrating to the
United States, an Afghan man (Khalid Abdalla) returns
to his war-ravaged homeland to try to repay his debt
to a childhood friend whose trust he betrayed. Marc
Forster (Finding Neverland, Monster’s Ball) directs this
touching story of family, friendship and bravery, based
on the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini.
The movie was faithful to the book. There are a lot of subtitles
because the languages are English, Dari, Pashtu, Urdu, and
Russian.
This movie is not for children. For the most part it is non-violent
but does include child rape, a beating, and the stoning of a woman
to death. The most difficult part to watch is one child betraying
another.
Well worth seeing.
