Cher. Just Cher.

Ok, let me just say that this was a pretty decent movie, but it had a lot of problems. For starters, the audience doesn't learn anything, and nothing clearly connects. The fact that all of the three women lived in the same house in different decades is...interesting I guess, but it's never brought up so there isn't really a point. The movie is about abortion, but there were so many mixed signals that by the end of it I had no clue what the movie was trying to tell me, I mean, maybe that was the point but it could have gone about it in a way that made a little bit of sense. It had so many opportunities to discuss this controversial issue in a more in depth manner but all it ever managed to do was scratch at the surface of what we already know.
And also, this is slightly irrelevant, but why is Cher on the cover with Sissy Spacek and Demi Moore? She wasn't the one with the unwanted pregnancy. Another question while we're on the subject- why is Cher's hair long and dark on the cover, but curly and red in the movie?
Lastly, the fact that it's called If These Walls Could Talk sounds nice and dramatic and everything but honestly the only time the walls had something to talk about was during the first section of the film with Demi Moore's character, after that they didn't really witness anything all that exciting.
This movie does what it wants I suppose.
