Cleaner

About This Movie

Cleaner (2021) has this quiet yet intense atmosphere that draws you in gradually. It’s all about these two contrasting women—Angela, the reserved cleaner, and Mairead, the busy mother. Their worlds collide in a way that's both unexpected and kind of raw. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but that actually works for it, allowing space for the development of their relationship. It’s not just about cleaning houses; it delves into loneliness, connection, and the mundane struggles of life. The performances feel real and lived-in, like you're peeking into their lives. Plus, the practical effects, like the setting and everyday objects, ground the story, making it feel relatable. A distinctive take on friendship that unfolds in the most ordinary of settings.
