Rose Lorkowski is a single mother attempting to support her son Oscar and her unreliable sister Norah. She works a mundane job as a maid. Once the head cheerleader in school with plenty of prospects, Rose now has little to show for her life. She still sees the former head football player, but it is little more than a despondent affair. When Oscar is expelled from public school, Rose takes a job as a bio-hazard crime-scene cleaner to help pay for a private education. She brings Norah on to help in her steadily growing business. As the sisters work to clean up the messes left behind by the chaotic lives of others, they must learn to reconcile their own differences and overcome a troubled past if they hope to prosper in their newfound venture.

What starts off as a way to make some cash turns into something more, as both sisters think more deeply about their lives, their relationships, and their memories of their mother.
A quick story about buying this DVD: I saw it in the cheap movie bin at the grocery store and remembered that the trailer had looked decent. When I went to go pay, the young woman at the register was absolutely horrified and told me that this movie was vile and I shouldn't watch it. When I got home, I discovered that the movie wasn't in my bags, so I went back and had a talk with customer service, since it was on my receipt.
I'm convinced that the young woman who thought this movie was so vile never actually watched it. Her reaction had me anticipating horrific gross and gory moments. It depends on how it's done, but I'm not generally great with that kind of thing, so I was braced for the worst (but still determined to watch it, because being told I shouldn't watch or read something makes me mulish).
Instead, this ended up being a surprisingly sensitive and emotional movie. Yes, Rose and Norah had to deal with some gross stuff: blood stains, rotten and maggot-covered food, and there was a brief shot of some guy's finger in a sink. However, for the most part it didn't glory in the grossness or turn it into a joke. The primary exception was maybe the suicide in the gun shop, which happened fairly early on. Everything else, though, underscored that Rose and Norah were cleaning up places where people had lived and died. They didn't see the bodies, but they still got an intimate peek into these people's lives.
Norah found herself thinking about her mother a lot. She could barely remember her, but did remember
Although it didn't have as big of a gore and grossness factor as I was expecting, it did have other aspects that made it difficult to watch. I hated Rose's relationship Mac, the married cop. It was clearly a bad idea all around, and it was only going to make her more miserable. And ugh, Norah. She meant well, but still.
I wish the storyline involving Winston had been a bit more fleshed out. As it was, he felt like wasted potential. He was clearly interested in Rose, and there was a feeling like she could potentially be interested in him back, once her life stopped being one crisis after another. Instead of doing something with that, however, the movie just left him as "that decent one-armed guy at the cleaning supply store." Maybe if they'd cut some of the "that guy only has one arm" moments, which were mostly pointless and annoying, there'd have been time for Winston to ask Rose out for coffee or something.
This isn't something I plan to rewatch, but it was worth viewing once.
Extras:
Audio commentary with the writer and director and "A Fresh Look at a Dirty Business." I didn't watch or listen to any of it.
