The film's true star is its script.

As stunning an acting showcase as you'll find.

The film actually improves on Cunningham's novel, thanks to gorgeous cinematography, a deft script by playwright David Hare ... a mournful, melodious but never intrusive score by Philip Glass and a superb cast.

The Hours totally engrosses me... It somehow deepens the [book's] themes to see the bodies, scrutinize the faces, smell the money, feel the flatness of the screen.

Daldry's screen version is well acted but too literal, failing to convey the complexity or the lyricism of Cunningham's seminal novel.

Smart, thoughtful movie for older teens and up.

A boldly realised, affecting work.

More than just Oscar bait; it's a veritable Oscar bait and tackle shop.

A puzzling and forbidding strangeness.

A compelling, moving film that respects its audience and its source material.

David Hare's screen adaptation reduces Woolf and her art to a set of feminist stances and a few plot points, without reference to style or form.

The script, the score, the sets, the costumes, and the direction are all Oscar quality, and incredible performances from Kidman, Moore, Streep and Harris make The Hours seem like minutes.
