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

If the film seems a little like a fairy tale, what can one do with the story of an Olympic skier who ends up as tutor to a boy-king regarded as a god?

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.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

Pitt is smiling, taking his shirt off, brushing his blond locks with his hands, striking poses against the picturesque scenery--in short, being Brad Pitt.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 5, 2009

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.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 26, 2007

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.

After more than an hour of solemn preparation, we get ... Brad Pitt showing a kid how to drive a car and work a radio. Wow.

| Original Score: D | Jan 1, 2000

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