It's a plot that unravels on its own, without characters, without anything, not even a point of view. It's a zombie.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten

Ultimately, Sunset plays like deluxe dinner theater fare. It's a diversion to take along with your after-meal coffee and dessert.

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten

Half of the movie wants to be cheerful, and the other half seems morbid and disenchanted.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

A tale that is not quite a comedy, or a murder mystery, or a crime thriller, or an expose of Hollywood slime, but manages to make half-hearted stabs in all these directions.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
