   Lifetime? I would be interested to know why this would be limited to a cable network that is only well watched by middle aged women.. in fact I find it interesting that “women’s issues” was what you took from this film when the argument can be made that such issues really derive from the dramatic dynamic of the very disruptive father with his family as well as the uncertainty of economy at the time.

   To the extent I didn’t know lifetime was limited to an audience of middle aged women, I remained convinced the film targets a female audience. Its narrative voice is the daughter of the central character, who also had to pass the crucible of repelling unsolicited advances of a man from a privilege class. It delves into a pro choice issue Maria learned to regret. The daughter, like her mother had to come to terms with the father’s adulterous behavior as a point of feminine morality. The sensitivity of the film derives from a woman’s approach to and use of modern technology and gives the film a majesty I didn’t have time enough to fully convey.

   At first I thought the film would be directed towards all women in general. I found it very odd that the film was really only directed towards middle aged women. The Nar orator is the daughter of the main character who has a pass crucible of preventing unsolicited advances of a man from a much more privileged class. Like her mother, the daughter had to face her father’s disloyal behavior and put aside her feminine morals. This film is from a women’s standpoint and view. The women’s issues that are brought up during the film are what the films main focus points are.
