If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000 TV Movie)
8/10
Overall touching LGBT film
3 December 2017
This 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.
