Review of The Hours (2002) by Darkbloodshed13 — 28 Jan 2020
The Hours is a film directed by Stephan Daldry and is about 3 different women in 3 different time periods and their struggling depression. This film is one of the most depressing films I have ever seen, and I mean that in the best possible way.
It gives us relatable characters dealing with relatable problems. The story is presented in such a way that we have to feel exactly what they are feeling. Plus the music composition, which is done by Philip Glass, is used brilliantly.
Add that to some great performances and you've got yourself a great film. However this movie does have one major flaw in that one of our leads, Laura Brown played by Julianne Moore, isn't given a reason to be depressed.
She has a family, a husband who loves her and good friends. So why is she depressed? I have no clue. Yet this problem can easily be overlooked thanks to the other great stuff in this film. In conclusion if your looking for a true drama in every sense of the word than this is the film for you.
