...their entire futures. “Sunshine Cleaning” evokes less laughs and perhaps more reflection than its counterpart, but the somber moments are more affecting, and ultimately more relatable. What the new “Sunshine” has that the old lacks is, quite simply, Norah. Brash and deadpan, her idea of lulling her nephew to sleep is telling him a bedtime story about a man with OCD. British actress Blunt—best known for her role as the bitchy co-worker in “The Devil Wears Prada”—adds...
