This movie was a pleasure to watch. It was simple and not conceited, well acted and elegantly written and unpredictable enough to keep me interested.
Sunshine Cleaning stars Amy Adams and Emily Blunt as two sisters trying to find their way in life as adults after they mother committed suicide when they were kids. They start a crime scene/blood & guts cleaning business together.
I liked this movie because- gasp- it was about the relationship between two women and their family dynamics. There was no forced heterosexual resolution. It was sort of in the vein of Thelma and Louise but more subtle and less desperate; more cathartic and less edgy. It was the kind of old school melodrama that I like but it didn't have to punish the women for not being with a man, for not being financially successful, for not being married. It was nice to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy a movie that was not just dripping with Hollywood slickness (although both Adams and Blunt are distractingly gorgeous).
