the best scene of the film. Nicole Kidman and Stephen Dillane are insanely perfect in this. Stephen Dillane should have also gotten a recognition he deserves.
What she said made me understand mental illness and now I support anyone who either seek help to continue living or if they choose to end their lives. Who are we to tell them life is worth living?
Nicole Kidman has the remarkable ability -- rare even among our greatest actors -- to vanish so thoroughly into the role that there's virtually nothing left of Nicole Kidman; it this film, she's entirely displaced by the character she has created, a Virginia Woolf so authentic as to seem, if it were possible, even more real than the original.
Yes. Noone else knows how it is to live with recurrent endogenic depression. Not even doctors (I mean, good ones), not even your loved ones (I mean, those who do understand and believe you) can fully comprehend what it's like.
The most interesting thing about this scene is the conflict it presents between Leonard Woolf's essentially Victorian values -- which insist on order and rationality and peace and calm above almost all else -- and Virginia's more modern views, which require a recognition that people (and particularly women) are not mere cyphers to be dictated to by men, but are genuine human beings in their own right who deserve all their own successes and, yes, their own failures too. But the scene encompasses more than this, as well, by highlighting some fundamental differences between the sterile intellectual values represented by certain forms of "masculinity," and the more feeling oriented approach of the feminine archetype. The Hours is a work of genius and this is its most telling moment.

This is what phenomenal acting looks like.

Sometimes I feel what she feels
Perhaps the best scene ever in cinema, the dynamic range exemplified. The whole movie is a symphony…
I can't believe this is Nicole Kidman!
The choice of words that create a sentence can have a lot of power. She chooses Anesthetic. Wow
credit to Sir David Hare.
I’m a hard man, yet somehow this movie makes me tear. Every time,
Nicole Kidman deserved best actress and I hope she wins another one.
" I miss London and I miss London life ... " Many people maybe say this now on this day coronary and may understand her pain, the pain of miss life .
You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

Agreed, she is freaking powerful in this scene, Damn
her Oscar moment and the best best actress award wining performance in the century by far (tie with Marion Cotillard's La Vie En Rose perhaps)
I just narrated this part from the novel! Never felt so close to a major literary figure.
