Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Margaret Pomeranz (380) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 09 Jun 2009

Amy Adams [is] terrific in Sunshine Cleaning but the material lets her down. It's as if it's trying to push every indie film button in the book…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 04 Jun 2009

The irony of the Sunshine named small enterprise specialising in cleaning up post-death mess suggests the filmmakers may be aiming for a tone…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 28 May 2009

Taken on its own terms, though, it's a solid indie effort with plenty of nice character strokes by screenwriter Megan Holley and razor-sharp…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 27 Apr 2009

It's still relatively early in the year, but this is definitely one of my favorite films so far in 2009…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Lori Hoffman (553) for Atlantic City Weekly (553) on 19 Apr 2009

It's all a bit over-baked at some moments; other moments shine with the emotional truth that one hopes to find if one must be subjected to…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Linda Cook (1,442) for Quad City Times (Davenport, IA) (1,206) on 17 Apr 2009

They're ordinary people doing the best that they can. And that's what makes 'Sunshine Cleaning' so enjoyable for adult audiences…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 08 Apr 2009

Contains enough fine moments -- to say nothing of a strong central performance by Amy Adams -- to make it a worthwhile endeavor…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 06 Apr 2009

A wonderful little movie with a big emotional resonance that deserves your attention…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 05 Apr 2009

This is a film that might clot from the pressure of too much unlikely, writerly detail if not for the elbow grease applied by its two charming…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Michael Smith (475) for Tulsa World (603) on 02 Apr 2009

Desperately quirky, with desperately quirky characters. There are no characters in this film who aren't quirky. That's a problem…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 30 Mar 2009

[Amy Adams and Emily Blunt] suggest a whole vista of human emotion that the muddled script just kind of gestures towards in a vague way…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 27 Mar 2009

But while director Christine Jeffs finds the pathos in writer Megan Holleys too-quirky script, the piling on of offbeat contrivances overwhelms…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Carla Meyer (580) for Sacramento Bee (806) on 27 Mar 2009

Sunshine Cleaning is a small film with small storytelling problems that eventually add up…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 27 Mar 2009

a charming and easy-going indie treat…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Matthew Razak (302) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 27 Mar 2009

If the whole thing wasn't so melodramatic every ten seconds the fun and quirkiness would have shown through far more easily…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 26 Mar 2009

Its story is a confused muddle, and the filmmakers can't settle on a consistent tone…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 26 Mar 2009

aspires to the mantle of Little Miss Sunshine as...the Little Movie That Could. Only it can't…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 25 Mar 2009

Alan Arkin gives another quirky performance…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Emily S. Mendel (53) for culturevulture.net (793) on 22 Mar 2009

With spot-on performances and a creative screenplay by Megan Holley, Sunshine Cleaning is funny, sweet and full of insight…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Robin Clifford (1,670) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 20 Mar 2009
