Review of The Hours (2002) by David F — 13 Jan 2013
This movie has one of the most compelling, interesting, beautiful opening scene I've ever seen. But after those first 10 minutes, it slowly starts getting downhill. "The Hours" is a very peculiar movie where three parallel stories alternate one another before reaching quite a good conclusion. The last lines are a total blast. And the soundtrack is one of the finest you hears will ever hear: it literally gets the movie going.
You get three amazing actresses coming togheter: Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman. They really are the base upon the movie is built on. Oh, and that wonderful Ed Harris! Without them "The Hours" would not have turned out in this nostralgic, out-of-time tale. The movie is not perfect, and it's too slow at points. But what's really nice to see is how the story slowly unfolds in front of your eyes, and the whole project is really beautifully written.
This all makes "The Hours" a unique project that should not be missed. In its imperfections it will leave you with a nostalgic feeling that not many movies can leave you with. Recommended.
