Stripped of life-and-death consequences, Sunset never convinces us that its protagonist can sustain such unrelenting scrutiny.
December 2, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
Instead, this feels like an abstract ode to the frantic, listless, tightly wound thing a city becomes on the eve of its demise.

Sunset is one of the most innovative and invigorating films I've seen, and I can't imagine that anything else this year could have topped it.

It's all too vague to function effectively as either a commentary on the build-up to the Great War or as the story of a woman looking to find her place in a city predicated on rigid, gender-determined hierarchies.

Nothing is ever quite clear - often literally, because Nemes likes to keep the middle-distance out of focus. It was chillingly effective in Son of Saul. Here it's just deadening.

A thing to be admired and puzzled over, featuring fantastic feats of millinery. Magic and hats, anyone?

Audience Reviews for Sunset

Jul 20, 2019The movie is designed to be infuriatingly enigmatic (i.e.the main character clearly has an arc, but we're never directly told what changes about her) and while I understand criticisms of that choice I don't believe that it undermines the compelling narrative or direction.If anything, its a movie that demands further study rather than just superficial examination.Alec B Super Reviewer
