Sunshine Cleaning

I've wanted to watch this and it's like "finally".
As some of producers involved in "Little Miss Sunshine" as well, these two are quite similar.
Nope, more similar than I thought when I saw the trailer.

In both films, they live in Albuquerque.
And it's self-explanatory that "sunshine" is included in each title.
But it's OK. It was enjoyable enough...

Rose is a thirty-something single mother who works as a house cleaning lady.
She is having a dead-end affair with a married cop, who is her high school sweetheart.

One day, her son is kicked out of the school just for weird behavior, so Rose has to earn more money to send him to private school.
Then she decides to take a suggestion from her married lover, which he'd like to call lucrative.
It's cleanup company focuses on crime scene, such as suicide or death that go undiscovered for a while and so on.

Rose has a little sister, Norah who can't hold down a job. Mayne she's simply said to be a NEET at this day and age.

She convinces her to join the business. They prepare hardware they'll need and things are getting better when Norah carelessly triggers a fire at a house she's asked to do the job by herself. Rose has something else that she desperately has to take care of for herself.

The house is burned down and they lose everything they have established. But sisters can resume the business thanks to who... You'll see when you watch it.

One-armed hardware store owner. I kinda like his role. He's not a talkative person at all, but he's genuinely warmhearted.

Needless to say, I love Aran Arkin. He's one of my favorite actors !!
