When Mac\, a police detective\, suggests the lucrative job opportunities in crime-scene cleanup\, Rose enlists her sister\, Norah (Emily Blunt)\, to join her in the gory but ultimately fulfilling business enterprise. The sisterly chemistry between Adams and Blunt is impressive and forms the crux of their characters' growth throughout the film: Rose's optimism--reciting self-affirmations and positive spins on her occupation ("It's a growth industry")--complements Norah's cynical\, wickedly humorous exterior\, which hides her bruised\, vulnerable heart. Rounding out this likable cast is Alan Arkin\, appearing as Joe\, the sisters' lovably grumpy father\, and Jason Spevack\, who plays Rose's eight-year-old son\, Oscar. SUNSHINE CLEANING has all the familiar ingredients of a small independent feature (dysfunctional family spanning three generations\, offbeat comic situations\, dark emotional subtext)\, but thanks to the keen directorial hand of Christine Jeffs (who also directed the Sylvia Plath biopic\, SYLVIA)\, and a smart screenplay from first-time writer Megan Holley\, the film manages to transcend indie-film quirkiness\, offering a heartfelt story of family bonds and the unexpected curveballs in life's road.
