Ethan S One of the great Epic movies of the 90's. I honestly don't understand how the ratings aren't higher. All-time for me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Frans B I loved this. Great cinematography, cast very good in character, amazing that it is actually based on true story, albeit dramatized cinema style. The fact that David Thewlis was permanently banned from entering China on account of his role in this, amazes me. Good viewing, will surely recommend Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Audience Member Seemed longer. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Jitendradas L I have heard so much about this movie. So many people speak of it so highly and when my spiritual community voted to watch it in our movie vote, I thought, ‘We’ll. Now would be a good time to give it a shot!’ I’m glad I watched it so I can tell anyone who sees this, don’t bother! Unless you’re just wanting to pass some time watching an old Brad Pitt flick, the movie is too long, with several scenes that should never have made the final product. The story is predictable and the screaming and yelling at the beginning and throughout was definitely too much. They only needed one or two screaming scenes but there were at least three or more. Brad Pitt’s character development took place in Lhasa with the Dali Lama. This would have been a more attractive angle to have approached the storyline from. They could have also shown more about the mysticism and prophetic nature of the Dali Lama. They could have delved into explaining the rituals that were going on. This film really missed the mark in so many ways for me. I cannot and would not recommend it at all. Go watch something else. That’s what I’d say. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Audience Member It's not Dr Zhivago but it still is a beautiful epic movie, following the footsteps of an ambitious Olympian athlete and mountain climber who became a prisoner of war in WW2, escaped and made his way all the way to Tibet and finally back home to Austria. A decade of history and spiritual journey, wrapped in 2 hours of great picturesque cinema. Well worth your time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/24 Full Review Audience Member A good film, nothing amazing, just good. Seven Years in Tibet is a slowly paced film that works in my opinion. It dives into the two characters pretty decently. But the movie doesn’t dive into other characters very decently, so I think some of the movie’s flaws shows, but still I recommend this movie.
