Movie Reviews of If These Walls Could Talk 2

Movie Review: Intersting and good...
Summary: 4 Stars

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 of the young women, it is a bit sterotyped.

The final pice is set only a few years ago. It is current, funny (after all Ellen Degeneres is in it) and sexy (Sahron Stone is in it). It deals with modern issues in serious and light-hearted ways. Taken all together the three pieces tell a very interesting story of lesbians and how their lives haved changed over the decades. I think it is especially important for younger women who need to know about the lives of the women who came before them.

Summary of If These Walls Could Talk 2

HBO caused a stir when it aired If These Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all who occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies. 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 Chlo? 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
