positive · AI labelView post →Having ripped into Apple TV's awful Matchbox: The Movie, I'm going to reverse my direction and offer the highest of praise for Tenzing, an account of the 1953 ascent of Everest. Genden Phuntsok and Tom Hiddleston star, plus Willem Dafoe's epic moustache. 4 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/10/22/t...

Morris was also in the 1953 Everest Expedition, reported on it, & wrote the intro for a biography about Sherpa Tenzing Norgay. Caitríona has just been cast to play ‘Jill Henderson’ in the film ‘Tenzing’. #coincidence

A sweeping epic with a gorgeous landscape, incredible cinematography, & a beautiful score, this film is one to inspire awe on multiple fronts. I highly recommend watching it on a big screen if you can to experience its audiovisual splendor. #Tenzing #TIFF26

positive · AI labelView post →I have seen some pretty harsh stuff (mainly other platforms) directed at Caitríona for not being at the 92Y panel next Tuesday. When Tenzing was being filmed Tom Hiddleston took about a week off in the middle of shooting because he had to promote another film. 1/3
neutral · AI labelView post →Insomnia has been a beast lately, but it gave me an opportunity to watch a profoundly beautiful film. Tenzing not only captured my attention in the amazing true story, but also the film itself was a brilliant reflection of two of my favorite places on earth. Nepal and India. #Tenzing #FilmBuff

positive · AI labelView post →Completely agree with your review, Nikoo. I loved the film and Caitrìona’s role in it. The movie does need to be seen on a big screen if it’s possible. The cinematography is extraordinary. When Hillary and Tenzing are making their way to the top you feel as if you are with them.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tenzing Norgay is probably going to be played by an unknown actor hence the choice of picture but this look extremely onion funny "We're making a film about a Nepalese man whose accomplishments are way too often ignored to the profit of the white guy. Here 3 white actors who'll play in it"

negative · AI labelView post →TENZING: This has a bit of a TV-movie-of-the-week feel to it, but I remain a sucker for climbing books/movies/docs. I enjoyed it, but casting 70-year-old Willem Dafoe as John Hunt is hilarious.
