How Are You 'Selling' A BETTER LIFE to people?

I was quite taken with A BETTER LIFE as I assume most would be if they were to give it a chance. It obviously isn't on most people radar and the subject matter may sound uninteresting to many people. I've typed up some thought on my films blog expanding on why I adore it and talked some on a podcast I contribute to, but when trying to convince people I know or talk to to see A BETTER LIFE, my big point is that if they want to see what may be THE best acting performance of 2011 to date they MUST see the film. Many things could be debated about the film, but I think Demian Bichir's performance is undeniably special.

What are you telling people in order to convince them to check out the film?

I'm not just telling people about this film...I'm showing it to my movie group tomorrow night.

Life, every now and then, behaves as though it had seen too many bad movies

I'm saying quality melodrama with a social conscience. Plus, making sure to remark that there's a truly great leading man performance.
