I love movies that are all about the acting and Sunshine Cleaning (2008) is a perfect example of that. Even though the story is interesting, it's really all about character interaction and how the actors choose to portray the parts they play.
The story follows two sisters who, after both being at low places in their lives, begin a cleaning business. This sounds kind of boring until the cleaning turns out to be crime scene clean-up. They run into many troubles along the way, but in the end everything works out all right. The back and forth that occurs between Amy Adams and Emily Blunt is amazing and I can't believe these two hadn't worked together before. There is also some subtlety added to certain scenes by one of my favorite small-time actors Clifton Collins Jr.
Even though this movie won't go down as a classic, or even be remembered a few years from now, I really enjoyed the experience of watching it. (7.6/10)
