Rent Clean (2004)

Decent indie drama. - Clean review by CP Customer

This is a fairly decent indie drama revolving around the character of Emily, the ex-partner of a faded rock musician. After Emily and her boyfriend became absorbed in a life of music and drugs she abandoned her son to the care of his paternal grandparents. After her boyfriend Lee dies from a drugs overdose which results in Emily spending six months in jail for drug offenses, the story follows Emily on her journey to both redeem herself of her past and to regain the trust of Lee's parents in order to rebuild the relationship with her estranged child. The film follows Emily as she also embarks on her own music career which takes her to various cities around the world and features cameos from various real life musicians like Tricky, Metric's Emily Haines and Mazzy Star's David Roback. As you would expect from this type of film the quality of acting is high with a very good performance from Nick Nolte as Lee's father Albrecht. While it may not be the best film you've ever seen, if you're a fan on independent cinema then this is well worth a look.
