Excellent but underrated film
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreI didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
... 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 MoreI absolutely loved this movie. I probably wouldn't have written a review, except I read the review that says unequal, and I completely disagree. I believe this movie was pretty accurate in each decade. The one that depicts 2000 was very moving and a lot different from the first decade. I think they were very brilliant to focus on the pregnancy issue. Lesbians and gay men these days want children and realize this can be a reality. I don't believe that was an issue until recent years. There is always a big focus on discrimination and unequal rights. This decade focused on the people and not only the huge issue of discrimination. It gave everyone just a little insight that lesbians and gays are people too with normal desires and needs.I think it was a super movie and I highly recommend it.
... View MoreThe idea for this movie is just great and I must say it was very well carried out. The way the world and lesbians/gays have changed during the past decades is so well represented in the movie. I was sad in the beginning (1961) and just thrilled when coming nearer today, somehow I was much involved to this movie all the time. I found Chloe Sevigny cute and the 70´s were exactly how I´ve read they were. If these walls could talk 2 is very realistic and touching in every possible way.
... View MoreI was really touched by the first segment with Vanessa Redgrave mourning the loss of her lover but the other two segments failed to deliver any kind of message. I didn't care too much about the love scenes but I thought they could at least back it up with some real concrete plots. The second segment with Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams, both brilliant, however failed to tell me exactly what the lesbians in the 70's had to go through because that was what I really wanted to know by watching this movie. The third segment with Ellen and Sharon Stone did fairly better but it could have been really good if they had emphasised the difficulties lesbian couples face in adopting children. It barely scratched the surface. All in all, I thought the first If These Walls Could Talk 1 was so much better.
