Movie Reviews

Newsday - 10/10 by John AndersonBesides being funny about themselves and their contemporaries, the women provide a window on the social evolution of the United States over the past century.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Bill Gibron[Sunset Story] isn't a movie about retired activists. It's a stunning meditation on the battle between mission and mortality.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Maria GarciaSunset Story hardly qualifies as a documentary. It's a home movie, complete with spasmodic editing and silly panning shots, punctuated by mawkish piano music.
Variety - 8/10 by Robert KoehlerTender, sensitive Sunset Story sidesteps a maudlin tone for a wide-ranging account of two fragile but opinionated retirees.
TV Guide - 8/10 by Ken FoxAside from the women themselves, the most remarkable thing about Gabbert's unexpectedly entertaining film is how effortlessly it dispels misconceptions about the elderly.
New York Post - 8/10 by Debra BirnbaumYou'll delight in their friendship - and weep when they're separated by the inevitable.
User Review - 6/10 by David SIt keeps the sentimentality to a minimum, especially after the first twenty minutes are done and all of the more cutesy moments are out of the way. That makes it worth a look.
