If These Walls Could Talk 2 Reviews

The sequel to the 1996 film about changing attitudes towards abortion in America follows 3 lesbian couples throughout three eras. The first, most sensitive and by far the best segment, set in the sixties, has Vanessa Redgrave (in an excellent performance) deal with the death of her partner; she can’t claim ownership of her partner’s belongings, their home etc, because they were not and could not have been married or had a civil partnership. The second and weakest segment follows the sexual relationship between Chloë Sevigny and Michelle Williams during the time of the hippie subculture and the final segment (21st century) is a much more lighthearted tale of two women looking to raise a child- Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres providing a few laughs. Not as thoughtful as the original film, it’s only really worth watching for the first part (or for the Lesbian sex scenes if you are so inclined) but it’s a well acted film.
