The Hours (2002)

Acting was flawless and the script intricately wove three story lines together…I admired it. I also admire classical music - but that doesn't mean I always enjoy it. I feel I should praise this film to the sky for being so clever, but it was an exercise in depression -- which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but neither is it a good thing in and of itself. I longed for more Virginia Woolf and less of the other two storylines. If either of the other two lines were a full-length movie, I'd probably steer clear.
