Review For A Better Life

The didacticism takes the shine off Weitz's accomplishment, even if the film builds up enough empathy to generate slow-burning emotional impact.
Trevor Johnston-Time Out

Bichir delivers a powerful, nuanced performance as a stoic but complex character who treats everyone -- even those who have wronged him -- with a dignity he rarely receives.
Jennie Punter-Globe and Mail

The people here seem real, their world is shaky at best, and the political tension that permeates everything in this film feels palpable.
Tom Long-Detroit News

Bichir redeems the secondhand plot and on-the-nose dialogue.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune

Personalizes the illegal immigrant experience and digs much deeper into what has become a national disgrace.
Greg Quill-Toronto Star

"A Better Life" might not change any minds about immigration policy, but it illuminates the conversation with context, compassion and understanding.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post

Well-acted, but quite over-hyped -- a melodramatic Mexican-American version of "Bicycle Thieves."
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A Better Life is a half-step removed from the Hallmark Hall of Fame.
Erick Weber-NECN

A Better Life's sense of place and eye for detail are strong, but the too-smooth style and rushed dramatics are at odds with the hardscrabble existence on display.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema

[A] gentle, honest, heartfelt film, but [it] does not have much to offer beyond an earnest respect for a segment of American society that is too often derided...
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher

The silver lining is an excellent lead performance from Bichir.
Jay Antani-Cinema Writer

A well deserved Oscar nomination for Demian Bichir in a film with echoes of The Bicycle Thief.
Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs

Each sequence plays out in mind-numbingly cliched fashion: father-son lectures, chin-up resilience-especially the final shot-and a stern message about the heartless anti-immigration movement are depicted in an infuriatingly shallow manner.
Gabe Leibowitz-Film and Felt

Director Chris Weitz has done a credible job of bringing Roger Simon's story and Eric Eason's screenplay to cinematic life.
S. James Wegg-JWR

it's far too predictable and mundane to carry my interest through the rest of the film
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures

Although the structure of the film is conventional, the ending of the film is not. Unlike most films, it does have a real hero, Carlos.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope

A sympathetic tale about an illegal Mexican.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Essentially a variation on Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief, but it has a vitality and resonance all its own.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Modest as A Better Life may be in scope, it commits wholeheartedly to achieving the goal of socially conscious cinema: to make visible the previously unseen.
Mike McCahill-Scotsman

A movingly simple and simply moving father-son drama set in downtown LA, refreshingly free of pretentious narrative pyrotechnics. Have a hankie up your sleeve and hang your cynicism up at the door.
-Film4

The sentimental saga of a father and son's stoical struggle against impossible odds.
Allan Hunter-Daily Express

It's a small, convincing, tightly constructed movie about an urgent, seemingly insoluble problem.
Philip French-Observer [UK]

A compassionate, sensitive look at the precarious lives of those off the grid.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]

It speaks well enough about the fate of immigrants everywhere, especially those who want to work hard but end up being exploited.
Derek Malcolm-This is London

Emotionally engaging immigrant drama enlivened by strong performances from its two leads, but it's slightly undone by an overly predictable script that prevents any real surprises.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon

Bichir carries it all with a measured performance of considerable emotion as the dad, clenched by so many years holding his breath, waiting for the knock at the door.
Cath Clarke-Guardian [UK]
