Storyline

Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer journeys to the Himalayas without his family to head an expedition in 1939. But when World War II breaks out, the arrogant Harrer falls into Allied forces' hands as a prisoner of war. He escapes with a fellow detainee and makes his way to Lhasa, Tibet, where he meets the 14-year-old Dalai Lama, whose friendship ultimately transforms his outlook on life.

Critics consensus

“Seven Years in Tibet tells its fascinating true-life story with a certain stolid grace, even if it never quite comes to life the way it could.”

Unfortunately for Seven Years in Tibet, its focus is on the wrong guy. Harrer may be a fascinating figure in real life, but he never shows up here. The guy we're watching is never anyone but Brad Pitt.

RTUSA TodayJan 1, 2000

Pitt is no disgrace but is blown off the screen by a bright-eyed adolescent actor.

R

Roger Ebert

RTChicago Sun-TimesJan 1, 2000

The movie is about two characters and is told from the point of view of the wrong one.

RTThe Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)Jan 10, 2023

Too sluggish and fares better as a travelogue than a drama.
