Oh I do love The Hours and there's no denying Kidman does some great work in the film but I think both Streep and Moore are better in it.

I have a chapter all about Kidman's career in the phD which I'm in the middle of redrafting for publication actually and by far the easiest bit to write was the Moulin Rouge era.

My favourite Kidman role is To Die For (1995). For anyone who hasn;t seen it, it is amazing! She wasn;t hugely successfl at this point but as an actress I think it really is her best work, followed by Moulin Rouge! and The Others.

By the way Dani, for some reason I think you especially might like To Die For. Dunno why, just a vibe I get I suppose...

Oh and yes, Far From Heaven is an excellent film!
