   Is a better life a good movie?

   • The entire film is told through the perspective of illegal immigrants like Santiago (Carlos Linares, left) and Carlos (Bichir). Director Chris Weitz tours locations even most Angelenos never see. Unfolding exclusively from the perspective of illegal immigrants, A Better Life is a dignified, decent film.

   Is a better life a good story?

   • A Better Life is a pretty standard story. In fact, it's plot has some contrivances that I wish it didn't, and it doesn't feel as smooth as I wish, but for all of it's writing flaws, it still made me completely empathize for these characters. I connected with them in part because I know too much of the hardships of these kinds of people.

   Is a better life a melodrama?

   • Making a virtue of simplicity and a vice of melodrama, A Better Life is a well-intentioned stab at something we rarely see in American movie theaters: the low-income family drama. This is a genre in which work — exhausting, repetitive, unreliable — is the story's engine and the characters' sole means of survival.
