His (Hamer) new film, 1001 Grams, is almost as good as “Kitchen Stories,” with a story equally unpromising – but only in theory.

Hamer’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.

Even if 1001 Grams isn't Hamer's best, it sees the director's enjoyable style come into full form.

1001 Grams achieves a charming equipoise of levity and gravity, of formal rigor and soulful sentiment.

This portrait of an introverted soul brought out of her shell is not without its charms.

What saves 1001 Grams from being excruciatingly cute is that it does have a clean look and a pleasant tone, and it’s about a subject that’s both unusual and entertaining.

In the end, Bent Hamer's view of current international relations comes to down to a treacly rendition of "Kumbaya."
