Daldry's screen version is well acted but too literal, failing to convey the complexity or the lyricism of Cunningham's seminal novel.

The film's true star is its script.

The Hours totally engrosses me... It somehow deepens the [book's] themes to see the bodies, scrutinize the faces, smell the money, feel the flatness of the screen.

The script, the score, the sets, the costumes, and the direction are all Oscar quality, and incredible performances from Kidman, Moore, Streep and Harris make The Hours seem like minutes.

More than just Oscar bait; it's a veritable Oscar bait and tackle shop.

The film actually improves on Cunningham's novel, thanks to gorgeous cinematography, a deft script by playwright David Hare ... a mournful, melodious but never intrusive score by Philip Glass and a superb cast.

Smart, thoughtful movie for older teens and up.

David Hare's screen adaptation reduces Woolf and her art to a set of feminist stances and a few plot points, without reference to style or form.

A compelling, moving film that respects its audience and its source material.

As stunning an acting showcase as you'll find.

A puzzling and forbidding strangeness.
June 24, 2006
A boldly realised, affecting work.
