Recensioni di Metacritic

No other motion picture about Hollywood comes near Billy Wilder's searing, uncompromising and utterly fascinating portrait of the film community.

The finest movie ever made about the narcissistic hellhole that is Hollywood.

Sunset Boulevard remains the best drama ever made about the movies because it sees through the illusions, even if Norma doesn't.

Subtle, savage and insightful but with such a big heart it is as moving as it is informative about the value of making art that moves.

This is an unmissable commentary on Hollywood's rejection of its silent past: a kind of Sobbin' in the Rain.

Sunset Blvd. represents the center stone in Billy Wilder's glittering cinematic tiara.

Performances by the entire cast, and particularly William Holden and Gloria Swanson, are exceptionally fine.

Billy Wilder’s cynical edge is finely honed in this darkly amusing satire, which won three Academy Awards. It’s a film that is perennially ready for its close-up.

What's not recognized enough is the indelible, self-sickened performance of William Holden as Desmond's boy-toy/hired hack.

A tour de force for Swanson and one of Wilder’s better efforts.
