Part road picture, part epic, and part spiritual journey, Seven Years in Tibet is a beautiful film with a story so typical-yet-unusual that it could only have come from autobiography.

I was expecting the worst -- everyone calls this film "Seven Hours in a Theater." But really, it's pretty good

Failed to convince me that Harrer moved from a self-absorbed bigot to an enlightened being, especially since his memoir never mentioned his Nazi past.

Most will likely forget about Seven Years in Tibet soon after viewing since the filmmakers have focussed on less interesting aspects
