The Hours (2002)
Virginia Woolf for dummies
28 February 2003
the hours is an entertaining movie about the tedium. The dialogs are full of common places and cliches, the characters are dumb and some scenes are unconnected with the rest.

However, it has a story, that seems to be similar to the book 'Mrs. Dalloway' and it is repeated 3 times with slight variations and a nice editing. While this repeating could be annoying, it makes the tedium of the woman leaders an universal ( or social, i don´t know) phenomena, more than something personal.

The movie diffuses the figure of V. Woolf , being her words the best parts of the movie. Probably, the real V. Woolf hadn't nothing in common with the overacted, yet interesting, Kidman's performance. Julianne Moore deserves the Oscar. 6/10.
