The Hours is the story of three women searching for more potent, meaningful lives. Based on Michael Cunningham’s 1999 Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, the film interweaves the stories of three women—a book editor in New York (Meryl Streep), a young mother in California (Julianne Moore), and the author Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman). Their stories intertwine, and finally come together in a surprising, transcendent moment of shared recognition.
Philip Glass’s ravishing, Oscar- and Grammy-nominated score was a key element in this acclaimed triptych of dramatic tales. “The inter-cutting of personal stories over a wide span of time, “ says NPR, “is held together by a single music approach.”
