A Better Life
A Better Life
(2011, Dir. Chris Weitz, US)
Director Chris Weitz (About a Boy) takes the helm for this powerful drama about an illegal immigrant from Mexico (Demian Bichir) who struggles to give his teenage son (Jose Julian) a better life by working as a gardener in L.A. Determined to move out of the city in order to get his son away from gangs and into a decent school, the devoted father comes into possession of a truck that allows him to earn a better income by taking more gardening jobs. But with immigration agents on every corner and vicious gangsters trying to lure his son into a life of crime, it's a constant struggle just to survive in such an unforgiving city without being deported. (Jason Buchanan, Rovi)
