Seven Years in Tibet

AT THE END OF THE WORLD HIS REAL JOURNEY BEGAN.

Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer journeys to the Himalayas without his family to head an expedition in 1939.

Reviews:

  • Mackenzie Madden
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

  • Briggs Perez
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
