Review of If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000) by Jessica D — 30 Dec 2009
Wow! Rent this movie, don't care if you are bi, straight, gay, male, female or neither, rent this movie! Vanessa Redgrave is, simply, superb as the survivor of a lifelong lesbian relationship after her partner dies. What a moving performance, what a well-written piece. Watch it for this vignette alone, although the other two are both excellent too, but not even in the same class as the first.
Of the other two, I preferred the second, if nothing else than for Amy's line, when bullied into wearing a woman's blouse and being asked whether it wouldn't be easier to dress as a woman, she responds that it wouldn't be easier at all. A sentiment with which I can definitely identify. It is well acted, and equally thought provoking "You're terrified of meeting someone who isn't just like you.".
The final vignette is touching and funny, and the chemistry between De Generes and Stone is endearing.
However, neither of these two vignettes are the real reason for renting this movie: the first one, with Redgrave, is. Rent it!
