	Media	Author	Review
		Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"A smartly done morality tale that couldn't be more in sync with these troubled times"
		J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"It's a solid indie effort with (...) razor-sharp performances by Amy Adams and Emily Blunt"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"Dark humor intersperses with poignant moments. Though the conclusion feels forced, the movie works. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The material might have promise as a black comedy, but its attempt to put on a smiling face is unconvincing."
		Lou Lumenick New York Post	"This bittersweet comedy is a fine showcase for a pair of distinctive and appealing talents."
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Perhaps the most compelling reason to see 'Sunshine Cleaning' is the pairing of two of the best and most charismatic young actresses today"
