The New York Times - Stephen Holden
Ms. Kidman, in a performance of astounding bravery, evokes the savage inner war waged by a brilliant mind against a system of faulty wiring that transmits a searing, crazy static into her brain.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
A splendid film. It uses all the resources of cinema -- masterful writing, superb acting, directorial intelligence, an enveloping score, top-of-the-line production design, costumes, cinematography and editing -- to make a film whose cumulative emotional power takes viewers by surprise, capturing us unawares in its ability to move us as deeply as it does.

San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
The result is something rare, especially considering how fine the novel is, a film that's fuller and deeper than the book.

The New Yorker - David Denby
The twin themes of The Hours are the variety of human bonds, especially the bond of love, and the gift that the dying make to the living. The miracle is that such sombre notions fit together as surely and lightly as the dancers in a Balanchine ballet. [23 & 30 December 2002, p. 166]

Village Voice - Dennis Lim
It's an astonishing Kidman who contributes the film's -- and maybe the year's -- most inspired turn.
