Leave your thoughts about 1001 Grams.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a special little film that's well worth seeking out. |
| Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungDespite the weighty title, this is an extremely light, delicate art film that rarely makes a false move. |
| Epoch TimesJoe BendelFrame after frame in 1001 Grams has such a strikingly composed look. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineA miniaturist dealing in microcosms that reveal the world...one of the most human films I've seen in recent years, full of insight, sadness and unexpected laughs. |
| Seattle WeeklyBrian Miller[Hamer's] new film is both appealing and more than a little trite, finding pleasantly glib solutions to the terrors of mortality and loss. |
| VarietyJustin ChangQuietly moving and exquisitely made, suffused with a depth of feeling that belies its minimalist construction. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeHamer’s style is what might happen if Ulrich Seidl liked people, with immaculate balance in each shot, but the emotions in focus, as well. 1001 Grams is wise about both grief and the need for romance. |
| Jerusalem PostHannah BrownFor some, this movie will be too slow and too quiet. But for those who can tolerate a story that unfolds slowly and a director who makes gentle fun of his characters, 1001 Grams will be rewarding. |
| New York TimesA.O. Scott1001 Grams achieves a charming equipoise of levity and gravity, of formal rigor and soulful sentiment. |
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthLacking the looseness and easy charm of previous efforts, Hamer's "1001 Grams" is a forgettable disappointment. |
