2/4
1000 Journals has a catchy hook, and Kreuzhage showed tenacity in following many difficult trails, but the movie plods. Go to Full Review

May be best experienced as part of the project itself. Go to Full Review
David Lamble Bay Area Reporter 06/01/2020
This affectionate investigation of a fantastical San Francisco art happening is a tad long, but still a mostly engaging take... Go to Full Review
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine 08/08/2008
2/5
Though the film is short, the subject it tracks is somewhat unwieldy, and you can almost feel the hands of writer/director/producer Andrea Kreuzhage stretching to fit it all in -- a Herculean task. Go to Full Review

02/09/2010 A great documentary about a project, having journals being a great source to bring people and there lives close together and showing things about themselves, that awakens, and helps give people closure. At the same time shows art can be very diversified than most people realize. I recommend this documentary to those journal/diary writers and those creative arts that struggle with there walls. See more 09/12/2009 The 1000 Journal project was a brilliant idea. Simply "release" 1000 blank journals throughout the world and let them travel freely to see where it would end up. This documentary follows the stories not only of a few of the returned journals, but the lives of some of the people who filled the pages. While the film is touching, humorous, sad, and every emotion in between throughout, the film felt distant and unconnected to this project which is so personal. See more 08/09/2009 Very interesting and inspiring! Makes you feel like creating something afterward. :) See more 06/09/2009 An amazing idea and execution of a large-scale art project; a rather milquetoast documentary. Visit the website instead. See more 01/03/2009 A very interesting and cool idea, but the movie is very slow. I actually started skipping chapters to get to the end. See more 11/19/2008 Loved it. I found it really inspiring and fascinating. I loved seeing how differently the project was interpreted by different people. See more Read all reviews
