Summary: Amor Vincit Omnia (Love Conquers all Things)
Review: Honestly I missed most of the movie.
I did manage to watch the last story (segment "2000"). Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres were in this fantastic relationship. They were in LOVE, their intimacy level was magickal. The only desire was to have a child, which modern science made possible.
The passion and dancing shared between the two was absolutely beautiful.
I'd like to think of the possibility of a TV series on HBO.

Summary: Landmark Film
Review: This film should be considered an important milestone in not only film history, but women's history as well. Each story is such a powerful message! The tender care that was given to each piece is very obvious. Sharon Stone, Vanessa Redgrave and Chloƫ Sevigny were fantastic. I was awestruck by the window on each relationship portrayed, and happily left feeling a sense of hope and compassion for each character and the many women each represent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply Great
Review: I've already expressed my mind towards this film. The thing I really want to make sure of, whether the song, that sounds in the third story belongs to Melissa Etheridge (I mean the love scene of Hellen DeGenre and Sharon Stone)and whether it is from her new album "Skin". It seems to me, it was used in the song of EMINEM "Stan", but perhaps I' mistaken.If someone happens to know the title of the song and the singer, please, let me know.

Summary: Peculiar
Review: ...On my side I can't but admit, that the movie is really very "warm" and is for sensitive people. To my mind the 1st episode of the trilogy is the most touching, I mean the tenderness of the ild couple. The 2nd is sort of experimental, as the young feminist doesn't really know, that she would like a sexual experience with the female (though I believe she hadn't any serious sexual experience till that moment at all). The last story attracted me by the part Sharon Stone played, I haven't thought that after all the men-tempting roles she would do smth like that. There is no doubt, that she played very naturally but it all seemed to be like a big funny game about a child, and not a real problem that female (as well as male) couples face.
I believe it looks like a scientific analysis, and not like a review, but I wanted to express myself somehow. All I wanted to say is this - if you are sensitive enough to feel the tenderness and beauty of love, you should see this movie, and it doesn't really matter, wether it is love between the representatives of the same sex or "normal" relations. (Though I think a woman is more capaple to feel what the other woman wants, than men). I hope you enjoyed the movie too!

Summary: 3 Generations of Women, Yet the Same Story
Review: This movie made me cry, made me think, and made me laugh my head off, all in that order. The stories of 3 generations of lesbians, all intertwined in that they share the same house, from the 50's, to the 70's, to the 00's. They were different characters, different personalities, and different issues, but ALL of them are important not just to lesbians, but to history.

The first story by far is the most powerful. Vanessa Redgrave plays a woman who is widowed after her lover of 50 years passes away. The insensitive nonchalance of her lover's nephew and wife is in stark contrast to the pain on Ms. Redgrave's face as she holds her lover's pajamas in her hands. The use of the glass birds in this story is poignant and important: birds, like love: fragile yet meaningful, often unnoticed, often ignored.

Michelle Williams shone in the 2nd story, about a 1970's "modern" woman whose feminist lesbian friends don't understand when Michelle falls in love with an ultra-butch [girl]. It was interesting to see the 1970s prejudice against butch women, knowing that here, in the 00's, lesbians still cant get past those labels of femme and butch. My girlfriend and I actually turned the movie off after this segment and talked about why there is so much internalized prejudice. Although not the most powerful segment, this story, like the first, held the same importance to history.

Last, but certainly not least, Sharon Stone displayed her impeccable comedic timing as the trying-to-get-pregnant partner of Ellen Degeneres. This segment was worth it just for Stone's outfits. Outrageous and laugh-out-loud funny, this 3rd portion of ITWCT2 was nonetheless endearing, especially to lesbians who dream of sharing a child with their partner. The tender moment of the "conception" scene had me with tears in my eyes.

3 powerful stories, 3 powerful women. One shared history. An excellent movie, one of the best in the lesbian genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Life Changing
Review: This has to be one of the greatest movies ever made. I've never seen If These Walls Could Talk but If These Walls Could Talk 2 is an amazing peice.
You can't help but feel for the characters in the movie. Especially the elderly couple. It really brings forward the true issues gay couples must face.
I am not gay but I found this movie very realistic and I plan on purchasing it as soon as I get the opportunity.
I believe anyone who is closed minded towards alternative couples and families, needs to see this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I really love Ellen DeGeneres after watching it
Review: All three stories are good. However, I think the last one (2000) is the best. I really love Ellen DeGeneres after watching it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Honest Portrayals...
Review: Finally a film that speaks to me...and in some ways can speak for me.

The First Story should be viewed by any person who has ever thought a hetrosexual relationship is somehow more valid than a lesbian relationship. Vanessa Redgrave's performance is breathtakingly real and true. Imposible not to cry...Imposible not to relate (gay, lesbian, or straight).

The Second Story is terrific! Fantastic cast: Michelle Williams, Chloe Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne...historical look at our Sisters of the 70's. Very relevant for today.

The Third Story is my least Favorite of the Trio...but still quite good. Sharon Stone is suprizingly natural and seems more comfortable in the girl on girl scenes than Ellen DeGeneres (GOOD JOB, SHARON!)...This story is directed by Anne Heche (not bad for a directoral effort).

Must See! Must Own! Must Share!
Watch this with your parents or children...Terrific as a vehicle for acceptance.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good collection
Review: This collection of stories looking at the lives of lesbians in different times periods is interesting and well worth watching. The best of the three, in my opinion, is the first story which is absolutely heartbreaking. Vanessa Redgrave was brilliant in the first short and should have won an Emmy. I really didn't care for the second, which had Chloe Sevigny of "Boys Don't Cry". This story takes place in the 70s and just didn't draw me in. The third starred Ellen DeGeneres (who is always lovely) and Sharon Stone in a relevant storyline for today's gay women but it never packed the emotional punch of the first story. Overall, however, the set of stories is an intriguing and important revelation about the lives of lesbians in the U. S. and deserves to be told.
