a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreThis sequel to the abortion focused TV Movie, if these walls could talk, focuses on three different lesbian couples living in the same house over different time periods. This is done in an episodic way just like the first movie. The first time period is 1961. It stars Vanessa Redgrave, Elizabeth Perkins, and Paul Giamatti. Redgrave plays an older senior age woman who lives with her partner. One night after they get back from seeing a movie, her partner falls from a ladder and dies from a stroke. I think the actors did a good job with their roles and I liked the dramatic focused performance given by Redgrave, for which she won a golden globe. The second segment of the movie is set in the early 1970s. It focuses on college girls, exactly like the last segment in the first movie. Michelle Williams and Chloe Sevigny stars here, this part is all about not only their connection and blossoming relationship, but also about feminism and people living their truths, no matter how others see it or think. And the final section stars Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone. I love both of these women and they have great chemistry together. The final segment isn't nearly as heavy or dramatic, it's lighter. And that is nice to have after two pretty heavy sections. I will say that the first part is the most well made, but I did enjoy them all. They fit nicely together. 8/10 for if these walls could talk 2.
View MoreHonestly I have never seen a lesbian movie having three era stories altogether (I'll be seeing the first movie after reviewing this sequel)!The first story was about two ladies Edith (who I didn't realise was the late Natasha Richardson's mother) and Abby that were from the 1950's and hid their relationship to society. It really explains how during that time was absolutely horrible the way anything like that was all hush hush. It was heartbreaking to think that poor Edith couldn't explain to the doctors and Abbys family members that she was her lover all because of having no rights to openly come out as a guy person.Then we move on to the second story to the 70's, we see a group of lesbian girls fighting for their gay rights. In my opinion this was my favourite story ever because it really gave you that good buzz vibe from that disco era. Like I swear Michelle Williams' character really stood out as a natural long brown haired 70's girl and Amy as a real cool cat of a butch woman that looked like a greaser. Amy showed so much passionate for Linda and didn't care what people say about her, as long as she had Linda, then everybody's happy!So finally the third story, I absolutely loved this as of course the legends Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres were playing as a couple who are dying to have kiddies. Sharon Stones character Sharon was unbelievably energetic and with Ellen DeGeneres character, she was just wonderful plus supportive in carrying the sperm process. I have to say this movie was so great in putting the effort of having a good soundtrack of songs and all actresses were really committed with us audience all the way! Bravo ladies! :D
View MoreCable-film follow-up to an excellent predecessor about abortion through the years; the theme this time is lesbianism, and the opening segment set in 1961 is outstanding as Vanessa Redgrave deals with the loss of her elderly lover, the coldness of the woman's family and her seeming lack of all options. The short film is a tiny bit over-the-top, but extremely well-acted and sensitively viewed. It dominates this overall look at women dealing with sexual issues, especially as Chloë Sevigny isn't given much to do but smolder in chapter two, and the closer with Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone fails because the actresses are totally unconvincing as lovers who want a child.
View MoreTrio stories about lesbians throughout the years, all living in a certain house (but why that's so important, it never says. And why not have a running gag with it like a crazy neighbour?).Anyway, the first part takes place in the early 60's, with an older woman (Vanessa Redgrave) losing her life companion (a female) to a stroke. They were both living in her lovers (?) house, so now the family comes to claim that... This part is by far the best of the trio.The second story takes place in the early seventees, when being a lesbian is no longer frowned upon and even 'cool'. We follow the blossoming relationship between Linda (Michelle 'Dawsons Creek' Williams) and Amy. Some steamy stuff, but not as intense as the first part.To make it a school-example of anti-climax, there's the third story set in 2000, with Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres as Fran and Kal who decide on getting pregnant (well, Fran anyway). Apparently, it needs to show us homosexuality is now much more accepted than 40 years ago... but did they really have to do it so boring in the final part?If you have any sense, turn it off after 30 minutes, except when you're into Michelle Williams in which case you might find it rewarding to keep on watching for another 30 minutes or so. But stop there!First part: 7/10. Second part: 5/10. Third part: 3/10.Final score: 5/10.
