If These Walls Could Talk 2 Reviews
Two out of three ain't bad.
If These Walls Could Talk 2 explores female same sex relationships in different eras, but in the same house.
The first story deals with an old woman who loses her longtime lover due to a fall from a ladder and the eventual death. The dead woman's son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter show up and basically take what is lawfully theirs, the house and its possessions. The old woman is left with nothing and is forced to start over somewhere else despite being in her 60s. I kept thinking to myself, all of this could have been avoided had the dead woman made a will. This story basically deals with how same sex couples don't have the same legal rights. Vanessa Redgrave, who plays the left-behind lover, can't even visit her companion in the hospital room because she's not a relative or spouse. This was definitely the heartwrenching one of the three vignettes.
The second story takes place during the women's feminist movement. Some college lesbian girls go to a gay bar where one of them, Michelle Williams, meets Chloe Sevigny and a romance develops. The only thing, Sevigny's character is butch. And Williams' friends have a problem with a woman acting like a man in order to live the lesbian lifestyle. They see it as defeating the purpose of being a lesbian in the first place. Pretty good performances all around. Nia Long and Natasha Leonne are in the story: both who have played lesbians in other movies.
The third segment deals with a lesbian couple trying to have a baby. It stars Ellen Degeneres and Sharon Stone. This one is boring. All you see is frantic anticipation and turkey basters. There is a surprising steamy sex scene. It's surprising because I never thought a sex scene with Ellen Degeneres could be steamy? I applaud Anne Heche as a director for being able to pull that off. But, it's still a less compelling story than the other two.
All in all, If These Walls...2 is a good movie. It's certainly more tolerable than its predecessor.
Best Lesbian Film!!!
I'll keep this review short and sweet, it has it all and in my opinion is the best lesbian film ever made. It's one movie that made cry and made me laugh and left me wanting more at the end. All of the actresses were fantastic, my particular favourites were Vanessa Redgrave and Chloe Sevigny.
These were no cheesy performances which unfortunately are common in many lesbian movies, and it's a movie you can watch over and over again. Worth any amount of money.
