A bittersweet movie that was able to move me, totally worth watching. "A Better Life" is a very realistic tale of how Mexican people live once they've crossed the US border: it's sad, almost unbarable but leaves space to hope and freedom.

It's nice every once and then to see the City of Angels under another angle -- Chris Weitz once again hit the right buttons, turining this simple story into something bigger and meaningful. I did enjoy it and I'd recommend it.
