Overview
"The Hours" is the story of three women searching for more potent, meaningful lives. Each is alive at a different time and place, all are linked by their yearnings and their fears. Their stories intertwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition.
Oh how I wanted to love this movie but I think the parts were greater than the sum. I loved so much about it – the actors, the mixed storyline, the ending. That said… it felt a little lacking to me. It almost had a paint-by-numbers feel to it in order to make sure that the viewer understood the link between the stories. I liked it but I didn’t love it with the exception of the ending. In my opinion Julianne Moore was by far the best thing about this movie – she played a character that is very similar to the one she played in the fantastic Far From Heaven.
