A Better Life (2011)
9/10
great performances, lovely film
30 May 2012
Just saw this last night at the Seattle International Film Festival. None of the 4 of us knew much about it and we all enjoyed it immensely.

Refreshingly bleak slice of life about folks on the slippery slope of life's troubles.

Fantastic performances, particularly from the lead actor. I will certainly check out more of his work.

The scenes with his young co-star are lovely, showing the best of a chosen family, even in the most desperate of times.

I loved the time and space the director allowed for quiet character compositions.
