"The Hours" (2002) PG-13

This gripping drama follows the parallel lives of three 20th-century women. The incomparable Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman, in an Oscar-winning performance) is hard at work on the classic story of Mrs. Dalloway while battling depression in the 1920's; Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), is an unsatisfied 1950's housewife who finds solace in Woolf's novel; and Clarissa Vaughn (Meryl Streep) is a modern-day book editor who's losing her former lover to AIDS.

For me, this movie was a little confusing at first, as I tried to tie the characters and the three different time periods together. But it was an okay movie.
