I may have been spoiled by non-Hollywood movies on this but everyone speaking English - Pitt with a ridiculous accent, no less - is very distracting. Still an enjoyable movie though.

I just love this movie that is based o a true story. The story is excellent, the visuals are epic, the characters are interesting and the acting is exceptional. Just entertainment at its best.

Decent movie, but it completely fails to tell the Tibetian story. It's true once again: the Hollywood narrative doesn't suit the novel.
