7/10
A quirky meditation on the weight of the soul. Depicts a reality bathed in such absurdity that it feels like fantasy.... The film is caught between moments of great storytelling and a distended metaphor. Go to Full Review
Peter Howell Toronto Star 07/16/2015

Gorgeous cinematography balances impeccable acting and directing for a romantic trifle that delights with design more than content. Go to Full Review

"1001 Grams" achieves a charming equipoise of levity and gravity, of formal rigor and soulful sentiment. Go to Full Review

Jun 3 This is by far the worst movie I have ever watched. Extrenely boring, no real story. Everything is unclear. See more 05/15/2016 Uma mulher é responsável por levar a grama oficial de seu pais para uma feira, sendo que nesta viagem o peso acaba danificando e ela tem que recuperá-lo antes que percebam... Aquele tipo de filme normal que vc acha que vai acontecer alguma coisa legal e ele simplesmente não evolui e acaba do nada. See more 05/07/2016 dullest one seen in months See more 01/17/2016 Writer and director Bent Hamer has concocted a sweet and thought-provoking meditation on the measure of one's life using the "weights and measures" community as a backdrop. It may help you rethink how you measure your own self-worth. See more 12/22/2015 Focusing on the Norwegian Metrology Service (Justervesenet) this film adds something very new to the table. Ane Dahl Torp is travelling to France to show the Norwegian kilo to the rest of Europe and scale it with the other kilos from other countries. Is it the right weight? Well, neat story there and it looks very good. It's prettier than most Hamer films and it's his stronges effort to date on the visual parts. Also one of few Norwegian flicks with a solid part done in the French language. As always with Hamer it's something original and something else, but I want more weirdness. I never really care for the lead but I go along with the film. By no means a poor film and probably one of the top five Scandinavian films of the year for me. 7 out of 10 Norwegian Metrology Service CGPM's. See more 10/08/2015 Filme representante na Noruega no Oscar. Marie (Ane Dahl Torp), uma cientista recém-divorciada e viciada em trabalho, deve ir para uma grande conferência na França levar o orgulho da insituição na qual ela trabalha: o quilo perfeito, um modelo para todas as medições no país. É a primeira vez que ela vai ao evento, e também é a primeira vez que seu pai, uma lenda no campo da ciência, não vai estar presente. O que deveria ser uma viagem profissional vai abalar todas as medidas dos relacionamentos pessoais de Marie, quando ela se apaixona por um colega francês e sofre uma emergência familiar. Mediano. Direção simples, roteiro simples. See more Read all reviews
