The Hours

Centering mental stress, suicide, and women's lives made all that more believable by three incredible performances. Kidman is almost unrecognizable except as Virginia Woolf. Streep is all-in awesome, but it is Moore that I think knocks it out of the park. Portraying a pristine China doll that is about to break into a million pieces and how she navigates life with the weight of patriarchy bearing down on her from all sides. A well directed and even better edited film that brings three eras into seamless conversation.

This film is a masterpiece about life, death and unhappiness. There are three lesbians kissing and references to suicide but offers a good reflection on life.
