moonspinner55 Cable-film follow-up to an excellent predecessor about abortion through the years; the theme this time is lesbianism, and the opening segment set in 1961 is outstanding as Vanessa Redgrave deals with the loss of her elderly lover, the coldness of the woman's family and her seeming lack of all options. The short film is a tiny bit over-the-top, but extremely well-acted and sensitively viewed. It dominates this overall look at women dealing with sexual issues, especially as Chloë Sevigny isn't given much to do but smolder in chapter two, and the closer with Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone fails because the actresses are totally unconvincing as lovers who want a child.

Ripshin Well, the first two segments are worth viewing, but the third with Stone and Ellen is pretty lame. Actually, the contrast with Redgrave's story is quite jarring, perhaps emphasizing how self-absorbed we have all become. I would rather have seen Ellen play it straight (pardon), and cut the whole comedy routine. The sex scene is gratuitous - too much information.And, by coincidence, three sets of lesbians happened to live in the same house over the years? I missed the first "If These..." movie - did each episode revolve around abortion??Back to Redgrave......I would love to have seen an entire film surrounding that character.

Danishya I absolutely loved this movie. I probably wouldn't have written a review, except I read the review that says unequal, and I completely disagree. I believe this movie was pretty accurate in each decade. The one that depicts 2000 was very moving and a lot different from the first decade. I think they were very brilliant to focus on the pregnancy issue. Lesbians and gay men these days want children and realize this can be a reality. I don't believe that was an issue until recent years. There is always a big focus on discrimination and unequal rights. This decade focused on the people and not only the huge issue of discrimination. It gave everyone just a little insight that lesbians and gays are people too with normal desires and needs.I think it was a super movie and I highly recommend it.

GothicCabbage This movie is truly one of the many voices of our generation. It shows how love truly conquers all and how nothing can stand in your way. This movie is a set of three short stories of lesbian couples all occurring in the same house in different decades. The first story takes place in 1961. A woman (Vanessa Redgrave) looses her partner of fifty years. To only make matters worse, her partner's family has no idea, and comes in, claiming everything as their own. With the help of love and drama, this story is certainly a tear-jerker. The second story takes place in 1972. A group of lesbian feminists are kicked out of a woman's equality club at school that they helped start. That night, when they go out to a gay bar, they run into a very masculine female(Chloe Sevigny ?sp?). While three of the females reject this "outcast", Linda (Michelle Williams) begins to fall, showing that clothing is not everything. The third takes place in 2000. A lesbian couple (Sharon Stone and Ellen DeGeneres) try desperately to have a baby. This story truly proves that with love, anything can be reached. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves drama, comedy, love, and equality.
