I dont understand this minimization of "the hours" , I really love that film and it has aged extremely well to me, even Ed Harris plays his character so poignantly I can't fault the film its as moving today as it was yesterday.

It's ridiculous. It's a flawless, transformative performance and one of the rare ones on film where people collectively went "that's not Nicole Kidman", and she was one of the most famous people at the time. What an achievement. There are way too many faux critics out there who need to be sacked cuz they clearly have no clue what they're talking about.

Every time I see a listicle like this, I know it's just to get hate clicks. There's obviously no objective ranking of movies, so it doesn't really matter. I try to ignore them.

Actually I think The Hours, a film that subtly but not really subtly dealt with the suffocation of closeted homosexuality/bisexuality/depression in that day in age is ground breaking, especially in Hollywood, just think about how frowned upon in both the industry and society it was back then, and then it went and made a good amount of box office and scored all those awards.
so for somebody to minimize its achievements by today's standards is just not fair and fails to take into account its significance in laying the groundwork for diverse and more thoughtful depiction of homosexuality in cinema.

I think it's become so fashionable to dunk on The Hours, which is weird, because it's very far away from your run-of-the-mil Oscar bait biopic. It's a very introspective, intellectual piece.

I think it's partly because it was one of Weinstein's greatest early successes and sort of set the blueprint for biopic movies with actress wins to come (Cold Mountain, The Reader, The Aviator). People have sort of lumped them all together despite some of them being leagues better than others.

also Stephen Daldry is minimized too. his low yield of films is one of the reason,
and critics take him as a straight and narrow academic naturally like Tom Hooper or something is another one.
yet he got so many authorship, even Billy Elliot is different than things like.. Music of the Heart or The Founder.
and The Hours is a masterpiece, with full of his authorship elements integrated.
it's sensitive but many emotionally rawness inserted, it's literary yet melodrama.
it's fragmentation in a surprisingly completed structure and theme which is Martin Heidegger's "Dasein" and "Zeitlichkeit".
don't know how to translate, in my opinion, it's like "you can only feel the passing of time until you touched death once".
if it's not Berlin, it's Cannes, the film may even get a bigger trophy or shutout completely, so I'm OK with its festival gain.
but the Berlin win is too close to the Oscar, so the film didn't get what it truly deserves, as Stephen Daldry too.

Hahaha Just my guessing. that's a great news, even I hate some of hers and Cate's fans and some of their performances. but I wanna see Kidman works with these two, it'll be lots of fun for Kidmaniacs, and lots of money for producer Kidman.

So great, I love this film. I'm reading right now the novel itself and Mrs Dalloway together, it's quite a experience. In the end I will watch the movie, it's been a while now that I saw it the last time.

In the end I will watch the movie, it's been a while now that I saw it the last time. I did the same many years ago. Mrs Dalloway is such a phenomenal book! I hope you are enjoying it as much as I did.
