Excellent Hollywood Expose
By K Chawgo from London, England , 18 Jul 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Wilder directs a fantastic film about the evils of Hollywood. Holden, Swanson and Olsen give iconic performances. The film displays the way Hollywood can shine in the heat of the glory one minute but once the spotlights dim, how you can be left in the cold. The script is sharp and witty with plenty of classic lines that are often repeated. The disc comes with excellent extras which include three good documentaries detailing the making, costumes and music. If your a fan of this film, the extas alone make this one to rent. If you have never seen this film, I suggest you see this and enjoy.- Was this review helpful to you?

(82)Good but not amazing!
By MzBizkitz (67 reviews) , 21 Apr 2013I can understand why it's a classic, it's a very novel idea for a film. However I think, for me, it just doesn't tick all the right boxes. Something missing that I couldn't put my finger on. It is good though but for me just not 'great'.- Was this review helpful to you?

A REAL "TURKEY"
By Burnhamite (379 reviews) from BURNHAM , 17 Mar 2013Fifty or sixty years ago some real masterpieces were brought to the silver screen and will last forever. Sadly 'Sunset Boulevard' is not one of them! Gloria Swanson and William Holden are wooden, the script is as boring as the story and hopefully the movie is put into Room 101- Was this review helpful to you?

Essential Viewing.
By a customer , 03 Sep 2012I'd long been aware of this film and its status among classic films but never caught it in its entirely. Now I have and I am pleased. It is a wonderful piece. More complex than the critic's review might suggest it is nevertheless essentially a black comedy about the insanity of tinseltown.- Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute Perfection
By Spiderman62 (3 reviews) , 02 Feb 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
Flawless. The tactic of casting leads to play parodies of themselves works brilliantly. The start of the film tells you how it is going to end but this does not detract from the suspense. The cast are all perfect. Watch out for Buster Keaton! If you want to see a film about a fallen silent movie star don't go to watch 'The Artist' (worthy as this is) rent 'Sunset Boulevard' from Love Film instead.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good at the beginning, then - snooooze
By BigMeUp (281 reviews) from Midlands, UK , 12 Jan 2012It starts off pretty good, but it kinda gets saggy in the middle. I didn't make it all the way to the end. Maybe I'll rent the DVD again in the future and watch it all the way through. More likely though, that I'm just going to let this one slide.
I can't recommend this.- Was this review helpful to you?
