Sunset Boulevard

A struggling screenwriter, short on money, takes a job revising the comeback script of a former silent-film star who still dreams of returning to Hollywood fame. As he becomes drawn into her secluded world, their arrangement grows increasingly complicated, touching on ambition, dependence, and the cost of holding on to the past.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like dark, witty dramas about ambition, fading fame, and Hollywood’s less glamorous side, especially alongside All About Eve; not for you if you prefer brisk pacing or easy-to-root-for characters.
