More about
"Life's Too Good": 		“Weisman [Graham] has a good feel for how family members talk—and often don’t listen—to each other.  A knowing take on family relationships.”  --Daniel Kimmel, Variety, July 1994. “Weisman [Graham] emerges from semi-obscurity as a serious force in women’s filmmaking.” –Linda Matchan, The Boston Globe, 1/30/94. “The generation gap is alive and well in this drama which focuses on the relationships within a family.”  -- Sandra Brennan, New York Times, Sept. 1994.
