Review: Sunshine Cleaning


Sunshine Cleaning was filmed in 2007 in New Mexico and starred Emily Blunt and Amy Adams but wasn't released until a few weeks ago. Emily Blunt, in my opinion, is brilliant. The only other movie I have seen her in was The Devil Wears Prada and comparing her performance in both movies is just..mindblowing. In Sunshine Cleaning, she plays a complete opposite of her Devil Wears Prada character and even loses her British accent. Amy Adams, on the other hand, had never really stood out to me..that is until this movie. This movie showed what an amazing actress she is. This movie was one of the few that I was genuiely excited to see and didn't disappoint at all. I found that this movie took everything that I thought it would be and made it twenty times better. The cast in this movie, as I have already mentioned, was perfect. It was definitely a movie worth the 18 dollars at AMC Quails Spring theater and the search for a theater close by that was showing this movie. Thanks to this movie I will be paying more attention to both Amy Adams and Emily Blunt's careers. I left the theater feeling very content with this movies plot and end and also wasn't let down by the excitement I had built up about it since I first saw the trailer. Normally I don't like indie movies but this movie went above and beyond.
