Product Description:
HBO caused a stir when it aired If These Walls Could Talk, a portrait of three women from three generations (all who occupied the same house at various times) who had unwanted pregnancies. HBO utilizes the same gimmick in the sequel, this time telling the story of women who love women.The three stories of If These Walls Could Talk 2 are uneven. Far and away the most powerful and moving story is the first, taking place in 1961, starring Vanessa Redgrave as a woman "widowed" when her partner of 50 years suddenly dies. Redgrave is phenomenal, and her piece alone makes this sequel worth watching. The 1972 portion stars Michelle Williams, who finds dealing with the sexual politics of the gay community increasingly more complex when she falls in love with a boyish woman (played by Chloë Sevigny). The most modern piece, taking place in 2000, portrays a contemporary lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres) determined to have a baby. The light nature of the story detracts from the more serious issues of the earlier segments. Despite the mixed fare, HBO once again proves itself on the cutting edge of moviemaking, with this rather daring film that will both provoke and entertain. --Jenny Brown

 GREAT MOVIE, 2008-10-05
I thought this was an excellent movie. I saw it many years ago. It was really sad to watch certain parts of the movie.
I really think that EVERYONE should watch this movie to get an understanding about the Gay lifestyle and what they go thru. Gay people want the same rights as heterosexuals... and why shouldn't they have it?
Whats so wrong about falling in love with someone of the same sex? So what? Who are they hurting? So men fall in love with men and women fall in love with women. Big Deal. If it makes them happy and that's who they choose then why not? Who are we to judge?
People need to open their eyes and their hearts and just realize that they're PEOPLE who just happen to love the SAME SEX!
Just... watch the movie. It really is a Great movie :):)
