Swobodin v Brně

Meryl Streep is one of the best actresses I have ever watched. I have already seen a movie of her with Robert de Niro (Falling in Love, 1984), Al Pacino (Angels in America, 2003) and Denzel Washington (The Manchurian Candidate, 2004); so I thought how a movie with Nicole Kidmann can be?
I was not disappointed! The hours is about 3 women of 3 generations, each one has her own problems but all suffering from depression: 1291, Virginia Wolf, a writer who lives under the care of her family and the doctor, 1951, Laura Brawn, a pregnant housewife who is reading Virginia’s novel, and 2001, Clarissa Vaughn, a lesbian publisher who used to love Laura’s son, dying from AIDS.
My rate: 8/10
