	The Hours Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Dalloway, the Virginia Woolf novel that inspired it, The Hours is haunted by the specter of suicide.
		It is something that the three women at the heart of its story wrestle with as, in the words of one, they "face the hours" of their compromised lives — the ghosts of their pasts and the unhappiness they currently feel.
		That being said, The Hours nonetheless deserves to be seen for the superb performances of the film's three stars: Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman, who won an Academy Award for her daring performance as the troubled English novelist Virginia Woolf.

	The Hours (2002)
		The Hours is about three women whose lives are mysteriously linked not only by the printed word, but also by common beliefs and passions, and we will masterfully see these three stories come together throughout the course of the film.
		While The Hours is rife with suicidal musings and emotionally draining material, the correlation between Virginia, Laura and Clarissa’s lives is fascinating.
		The Hours is presented in an anamorphically enhanced widescreen presentation in the film’s theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1.

		Kidman's portrayal in the film, in which she wore a prosthetic nose, highlighted the Hollywood rumor that beautiful actresses can only receive the best dramatic roles once they diminish their physical attributes in a role.
		Other examples are Halle Berry's and Charlize Theron's wins in 2002 and 2004 respectively.

	The Hours
		It is surprising, therefore, to discover that The Hours is by far his most emotional film score to date.
		Directed by Stephen "Billy Elliot" Daldry, The Hours is the tale of three remarkable women living in three different time periods, all of whom are linked by one defining factor: the life and works of novelist Virginia Woolf.
		The Hours is certainly one of Philip Glass's more lauded works, having been nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes and BAFTAs, but personally I feel that its unrelenting repetitiveness is its downfall.

	Qwipster's Movie Reviews - The Hours review (2002)
		THE HOURS is the kind of film that either has resonance with you or it doesn't.
		At the same time, with all of the wonderful elements that comprise THE HOURS, and my regard for the filmmaking prowess of the director, I should also let you know that this is the kind of film that I respected far more than I liked.
		I would not recommend THE HOURS to most people, as this is a sophisticated, stuffy, and borderline pretentious endeavor that would probably bore the majority of viewers out there.

	Three Movie Buffs Review The Hours (2002) Starring: Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman
		A movie is not a book however, and on-screen there has to be a balance between what's going on inside the characters and what's going on outside of them.
		The best thing about the movie is the creative manner the director uses to connect the three main characters.
		As a pop culture entity this movie reflects the interesting politics of The Academy, at least as far as Oscar nominations are concerned.

		The twin themes of The Hours are the variety of human bonds, especially the bond of love, and the gift that the dying make to the living.
		This movie is brilliant, Kidman gave the best performance ever in a film, every move she made, every word she said every look she gave were so amazing acted, and that train scene just hilarius...
		The movie may come across as depressing at first, but after repeated viewings, it's really a movie about hope and choosing to live your life as you wish.

	The Hours (2002) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		The Hours is a dark depiction of desperation and depression.
		In that speech, we are drawn to try to understand the suffocation that she felt as a wife and mother, but it is very hard to forgive the devastation this brought to those in her life.
		That the movie ends with the comment about the hours that should be cherished is a small ray of hope, but somewhat ambivalent as we watch Woolf wading into the river to her death.

	BBC - Films - The Hours
		Virginia Woolf is literary Marmite - rich, dark, and repellent to at least 50% of the population.
		Working from David Hare's script, the dialogue is authentic, muscular, and punctuated by moments of shared realisation, all of which keep the minutes of The Hours flying by.
		The Hours is a purely intellectual exercise, with Daldry never quite bridging the emotional gap that would have elevated this from excellence to greatness.

	MJ Movie Reviews - Hours, The (2002) by Dan DeVore
		The Hours is a wonderful vehicle for acting, and it is the performances of its stars that the film really relies upon.
		Nicole Kidman won the Oscar for best actress for The Hours, and I think that she definitely deserved it, but the hard thing to say is that the other two didn’t deserve it.
		Certainly this movie is not for everyone, and if it is not your thing it can be easily blasted, but good movies don’t always appeal to the masses.

		THE HOURS tells the story of three very different individuals who share the feeling that they have been living their lives for someone else.
		In "The Hours," Meryl Streep's character spends her day in party preparations and thinks about a long-ago heterosexual relationship (she is now in a lesbian one).
		The performances are for the most part outstanding with Kidman and Streep the standouts to me. I found Ed Harris in the role of the modern day Clarissa's close friend stricken with AIDS (and her lover from years ago), a bit over the top.

	The Hours (2002)
		And, almost instantly, you accept her not as Nicole Kidman in disguise, but as this odd, witty, frumpy, intelligent, sexy, and more than a little scary woman that struggled with severe depression that finally drove her to commit suicide in 1941.
		The Hours is profoundly moving, and after the screening, I realized that if I was feeling remotely fragile that evening, I probably would have been a blubbering mess at the end of the film.
		As the themes of depression, regret, life choices, and the perfect memory are universal, The Hours becomes a film for everyone who has ever found themselves out-of-sorts in their own lives.

		But given that the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday is yet to come anywhere near a conclusion as to what really happened, it is difficult to vouch for the accuracy of the events.
		Greengrass' movie however both captures the character of Derry during the early days of the Troubles and the terror and confusion of one of the pivotal moments that swung Northern Ireland further towards violence and war.
		The film focuses on an extremely tight time frame of 24 hours and representatives of the main players of that day.

	AbsoluteNow.com - Movie Review: The Hours
		Best Actress nominee Nicole Kidman, who occasionally goes cross-eyed as she peers down the length of her prosthetic proboscis, plays author Virginia Woolf, who lives with her publisher husband Leonard (Stephen Dillane) in the London suburb of Richmond circa 1923.
		The trio contribute the needed component of connectedness to the visual segues and fugues, such as the 1923 image of Virginia handwriting the sentences to her Mrs.
		The Hours isn't entirely devoted to downbeat fascinations, however: Streep brings necessary qualities of warmth to her Clarissa, especially regarding her memories of a long-ago summer fling with Richard, to suggest some glimmer of hope for her despondent caregiver.

		Starring three of today's most popular leading actresses, winner of some Golden Globe awards, based on a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, and the recipient of numerous rave reviews; it would seem to be a film that would appeal to a lot of people.
		It has more in common with Ingmar Bergman films than with "Terms of Endearment." I think the thing that most people are having problems with is that the film does not explain what takes place or the significance of the context of what takes place.
		I only recommend it to people who are up to the challenge of thinking about the film long after they have left the theater and deciding about what it means.

	MJ Movie Reviews - Hours, The (2002) by Pat Toner
		Something I don’t understand is why every single character in The Hours is gay or bisexual and why all these old, ugly, and washed up actresses were making out with each other.
		Hell, the character was barely in the movie and only had one scene where it was required to do more than “Stand there and look sad in your fake nose”.
		So in conclusion, the movie was boring and had too much pointless bisexuality, none of which was hot.

	The Hours (2002)
		I wouldn't have a problem with the film had it been made in the 1950's, but those days are long over and the idea of anyone dwelling over the same old complaints and double standards is more irritating than insightful.
		The one exception to this dullness is Claire Danes as the daughter of Streep's character; the second she enters the film it seems to light up with authenticity and life, providing a ray of hope in an otherwise pointless movie.
		Virginia Woolf once wrote that "every woman needs a room of her own," but I think she'd be insulted to see her concept being applied in a society where women now have a heck of a lot more than just a room.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Hours" review (2002) Stephen Daldry, Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman
		This film should be almost as engrossing on the small screen as in the theater, provided you aren't distracted.
		The fact that she doesn't look at all herself (in dowdy makeup and a character-accurate augmentation of her nose) has far less to do with her transformation into the brilliant, tormented author than does her complete embodiment of the woman's fatiguing, unremitting tension.
		Kidman's manifestation goes literally right down to her fingertips from the movie's opening scene, set some 18 years later as she writes a suicide note with strained, ink-stained hands before yanking tight the belt of her overcoat, weighing it down with stones and walking silently into the depths of a gentle river.

		In San Francisco together to talk about "The Hours," the men's matching devotion to the film and to Virginia Woolf herself has an electricity-conducting effect as they feed off each other's thoughts and comments with friendly fermentation.

		Comparing a movie to a musical composition is one of those commonplaces of upper-middle film criticism that's almost never true.
		"The Hours" is the exception that proves the rule.
		Director Stephen Daldry (of "Billy Elliot") and screenwriter David Hare (an esteemed English playwright) have done what seemed impossible, rendering Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, a meditative exercise in which not much happens, into a meticulously constructed and richly rewarding film that dissolves the boundaries of time and narrative.
