Title: Sunshine Cleaning
Year: 2008
Directed by: Christine Jeffs
Seen on: August 2009
Rating: ★★★☆☆
My thoughts: Sunshine Cleaning was an interesting film. It wasn't the least how I expected it to be, as the trailer said it was meant to be funny, and by the same author of Little Miss Sunshine, which is one of my favourite comedies. It wasn't funny but rather depressing, but I still think it was a very good film. The authors were very brave because they chose a very unusual/unpopular theme, and the characters are not heroes with a great personality, but everyday people who have gotten used not to want too much from their lives and who all look completely stuck.
This film has a great message, and I personally think that the ending is very positive and makes up for everything else. It was acted in a brilliant way and it had some very moving moments, but what I loved the most was the characters, as non of them was the 'conventional' type of film protagonist you'd expect :)
