It's a mildly interesting romance portrayed by two solid actors that is largely overshadowed by its gimmicky effects.

Gondry has such an incomparable understanding of the way in which strange and unexpected sights can tickle you. What he sometimes lacks as a filmmaker is the awareness that he can tickle an audience to death.

Mood Indigo paints a depressing picture about romance but does so with fabulous, although often-exhausting, style.

Gondry’s stylistic excesses hurt the film but they don’t hurt the performances.
