Mood Indigo

"Fans of Michel Gondry bummed at his troubled excursion into big-budget studio filmmaking with The Green Hornet should be pleased to know that Mood Indigo, his adaptation of Renaissance Frenchman Boris Vian’s 1947 novel L'ecume des jours, is a spritely restoration of his ol’ recognisably quirky and inventive self from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep."

"Sy, Maiga and the others play second fiddle not only to the leads but especially to the visual effects, which are indeed impressive..."

"Like eating a box of chocolates in one sitting, will leave you stuffed but hankering for something more substantial. Gondry-ites will be seduced, but this is as undisciplined as it is inventive."

"A surrealist pastiche that's too clever (or enthusiastic) for its own good."

"Less a visual feast than an all-you-can-eat buffet, and one that's rather hard to consume."

"If you enjoy Gondry’s brand of homemade art direction then there’s plenty to delight early on, but it’s all wallpaper."
