The Hours is a dour and morose film that, at its best, provides a heartbreaking portrayal of characters coping with personal tragedy and, at its worst, is a weepy and overdone art film. Thankfully, the majority of the film lives up to the former. Ed Harris is a real standout here.

I watched this movie while on my journey through films about writers... what a gigantic disappointment. The screenplay was unnatural and better suited for the stage. It actually ended up hurting the performances. Though there was an attempt to touch on heart-wrenching topics, it came across as overkill.. And I have to say, this interpretation of Virginia Woolf was quite weak and almost cartoonish. Most of the story was sprinkled with desperate reaches to keep audiences interested. What a drag.

The first half of the movie was way too artsy for me to get into it. But then, towards the end, things got much better. And, I started enjoying it.

Heartbreaking, and with one of the best Nicole Kidman performances in a good long while.
