    The Hours

    ★★★★★

    "But there are still the hours, aren't there?"

    One of my favorite adaptations and a deeply personal interpretation of a fantastic novel. The performances are pristine, with each storyline backed by an immensely talented cast. The movie is anchored by the three performances - Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore - and they all lend a uniquely devastating angle to their characters. A gut wrenching score that suits the book just as well as the film. The Hours is an emotional experience, both haunting and strangely comforting in itself reminiscent of Virginia Woolf's own work.

    "Let's keep going..."
    This movie is such an emotional experience. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are so wildly entertaining and chaotic, it almost distracts you from how dark and heart-wrenching their story really is. The only way this movie could have ended and Hans Zimmer's score somehow elevates it.

    ★★★★½

    Sweaty, visceral and violently delicious! Kristen Stewart and Katy O'Brian are beyond perfectly cast and every other performance just fits in so well. The grimy gritty visuals make you so uncomfortable while a genuinely terrifying and deeply romantic love story unfolds. Tied up with a great atmospheric score from Clint Mansell. 
    I cannot stop thinking about this film

    Always a perfect watch! Ripley is one of the best ever heroes and a Xenomorph Queen is probably her only worthy opponent. Watching this in a cinema was life-altering
