If you loved White Bird, try The Kite Runner

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Marc Forster, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to White Bird, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Kite Runner is

The Bicycle Thief in Kabul. A man returns to Afghanistan from America to find the son of a childhood friend. Khaled Hosseini's bestseller gets a faithful, if somewhat diluted, screen version.
