HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of women who love women. The three stories of If These Walls Could Talk 2 are uneven. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the first, taking place in 1961, starring Vanessa Redgrave as a woman "widowed" when her partner of 50 years suddenly dies. Redgrave is phenomenal, and her piece alone makes this sequel worth watching. The 1972 portion stars Michelle Williams, who finds dealing with the sexual politics of the gay community increasingly more complex when she falls in love with a boyish woman (played by Chloë Sevigny). The most modern piece, taking place in 2000, portrays a contemporary lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres) determined to have a baby. The light nature of the story detracts from the more serious issues of the earlier segments. Despite the mixed fare, HBO once again proves itself on the cutting edge of moviemaking, with this rather daring film that will both provoke and entertain. --Jenny Brown Average Rating:
 Rating:  - GREAT MOVIEI thought this was an excellent movie. I saw it many years ago. It was really sad to watch certain parts of the movie. I really think that EVERYONE should watch this movie to get an understanding about the Gay lifestyle and what they go thru. Gay people want the same rights as heterosexuals... and why shouldn't they have it? Whats so wrong about falling in love with someone of the same sex? So what? Who are they hurting? So men fall in love with men and women fall in love ... Read More Rating: - Love this movie!!Now I see what my wife was raving about. We have indeed, come a looooong way. I'd like to see a part 3 sometime in the future. The modern couple(Ellen and Sharon Stone) are hilarious. Not too fond of "shorts" but overall, this was an entertaining movie Rating:  - Intersting and good...This movie presents the lives of lesbians, all of whom have lived in the same house, in three seperate "chapters". The movie spans over 40 years. The first piece is about two older lesbians and is set in the early 1960's. One of the women dies and you see how people outside the relationship deal with the surviving partner. It is touching, yet a reminder of why we need to be so vigilant. The second piece is set in the 70's. While it is interesting to see the development of the consciousness ... Read More Rating:  - Women in Love"If these walls could talk two" was released eight years ago,and it's an interesting snapshot of attitudes towards lesbians nearly a decade ago. HBO turns lesbian romance into a "made-for-TV" movie. While the stories tend to be preachy (the second about gender roles,the third about childbearing),the acting is strong,and the soundtrack powerful. 1961- In the first segment, Vanessa Redgrave exudes dignity as Edith Tree,a woman losing her beloved home when she meets her partner's estranged nephew ... Read More Rating: - If These Walls Could Talk 2This movie portraits accurately the lesbian relationships at 3 different ages. From the older couple caught in a typical end of life pathos to the younger lesbians falling in love, this was a first rate flick. Sharon Stone did an excellent portrayal as the 'mom' in one couples' trial and error of becoming pregnant. Watch this several times - you'll get more meaning out of it each time! Sad, fun, and sexy! |
