Critics Consensus

Sunset (Napszállta) struggles to fill its runtime with consistently compelling drama, but uses one woman's experiences to convincingly capture a society at a crossroads.

Marjorie Baumgarten

Austin Chronicle

Stripped of life-and-death consequences, Sunset never convinces us that its protagonist can sustain such unrelenting scrutiny.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chicago Reader

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.

What She Said

It's claustrophobic and puzzling, it's challenging, intellectually and emotionally and Nemes' rebellion feels dangerously authentic. Pay attention.

The Young Folks

Nemes and Royer create an over-encumbered plot that shifts the focus in so many directions that it leaves the viewer essentially cross-eyed.

Rated: 5/10
