Review of The Hours (2002) by Eduardo T — 07 Jul 2012
Very depressing and very well crafted. The whole subject matter about this amazing film is depression. You have probably seen many films about depression but not as depressing as this one. You will not once smile or laugh at this.
But not all films have to be happy. Many people think they have to be but they don't. Films are also art that sometimes have deeper meanings. The best part about this sad film has to be the acting.
I was blown away at what was displayed here. When I watch a film the acting has to be good. I have noticed that the acting is what I pay most attention too. It's also the artistic aspect that I value most in a film.
Why was the acting good? Well, the actresses in this film displayed real emotion and they keep me interested the whole time. Everything else was good but not perfect. The direction was good. Very good choice in camera angles.
The camera was a paint brush and it painted the faces of the despondent actresses. The production was favorable. Very good choice in costume design and scenery. The writing was okay. It was artistic and smart.
But the conflict was a bit week. That wasn't so much of a downer considering that the writing overall was decent. So, I would recommend this only to passionate viewers of cinema. It's not for everyone.
