First of all, I must admit that I was biased when I watched this movie for the first time. I'd already read the novel and I was in total awe of it. The story had moved me deeply and I found and still find that the writing is among the best I've ever read. Re-invoking that wonderful story already gained The Hours some points.
On top of that I have another reason for perhaps overrating The Hours a little. In my memory, watching this movie has gotten connected to a rather special night (something to do with romance, ahw... you know).
Having said all that, I still think this is a good movie. IMHO: The intertwining of the three stories is not just a 'novelty' as I read in another review. The similarities, mirror images, fore shadowings and hind sights are not just an intellectual concoction to allow an all star cast to give it their best. They're vital functions in themselves, turning points in their own individual stories.
And it's true, all three actresses (and lets not forget the actors in 'minor' parts) give it all they've got. But since when is that bad? Kidman was good, Streep was great (and since Out of Africa I hate Meryl Streep, or was it since Sophie's Choice?) and I especially loved Julianne Moore.
I'm tempted to go into what I think this movie is all about. But that would probably add up to a pile of unfinished thoughts in pointlessly pretentious, crippled English. But it did make me think, and I found out that keeping the title in mind, The Hours, adds to the 'productivity' of my thoughts. After everything that has already been, that has gone forever but left behind its ghosts equally forever, there's still the hours.
