If These Walls Could Talk 2

If These Walls Could Talk 2 is a drama made for HBO that tells three separate stories set in the same house across different decades. Each centers on a lesbian couple at a turning point. In 1961, Edith loses her partner Abby to a stroke and must face the legal and family consequences that follow. In 1972, Linda's relationship with a more masculine woman creates tension with her feminist friends. In 2000, Kal and Fran discuss having a child with a sperm donor.

The film is a trilogy of segments, with the directors and writers splitting the work. Anne Heche and Jane Anderson each directed and co-wrote, while Martha Coolidge also directed; Sylvia Sichel contributed to the screenplay, and Mary Kane produced. The cast includes Vanessa Redgrave as Edith, Marian Seldes as Abby, Michelle Williams as Linda, Chloë Sevigny as Amy, and Ellen DeGeneres as Kal, with Paul Giamatti among the supporting players.

For Coolidge, the film sits between Rambling Rose and The Prince & Me in a directing career that began with Not a Pretty Picture. For Heche and Anderson, it is the first credited directing work in the records here. On IMDb it holds a 7 out of 10 from roughly 7,900 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 6.6 from 122 votes.
