      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Mood Indigo is far from Michel Gondry's most compelling work, but it doesn't skimp on the visual whimsy and heartfelt emotion fans have come to expect.

      ArtystaPisarz I waited more than nine years before I finally watched this movie. I was aware of it as early as in the first half of 2013 when it was first released and I wanted to see it then, but for a multitude of small reasons I never got around to do it. Now, after all that time I am glad I did it only recently. I would've never understood this story in 2013 when I was but an optimistic high-schooler. There is a chance that I didn't knew who Jean-Paul Sartre was back then! Now, after studying philosophy academically for quite some time my understanding of this movie is, understandably, much different to what it could be back then. The theme of the great, life-shattering decline, of the total loss of optimism, the misery that starts in a state of bliss - all that resonates with me deeply. "Mood Indigo" may seem inconceivable at the beginning, as the movie likes to throw at the viewer mountains of visual absurd as amusing as it is distracting. Nevertheless at its core the movie tells a story that is far, far removed from that smokescreen of abstract cinematic humor. The core of the story feels terribly, heart-breakingly real, so much so that we comprehend it instinctively, nobody needs to explain it to us. Descent from wealth to squalor, from health to death - that's all that is to it. A story so common that almost banal, but nevertheless human. Underrated is what this movie is. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/22 Full Review isla s I really enjoyed this film for its surreal aspects. Its very much a surreal French film. There is quite a lot of music and the characters are pretty quirky and animated, in terms of their actions, not in terms of being actual cartoons of course. I would say its an animated film but people would assume that means CGI or painted imagery, which this doesn't. It's hard to describe what it is - a sort of cardboard/live form of animation. It's quite bizarre and so I suppose it won't appeal to everyone but I thought it was pretty entertaining and if I had to suggest another film that's at all similar in terms of the type of animation used, I'd say perhaps Anomalisa, only this film features real actors in person. It's a very imaginative plot and Audrey Tautou does a great job as the girlfriend, Chloe. This is a film that you have to see to (try to?) understand. It struck me as being a bit like a sort of mythical or fairy tale dream of a film, of sorts. I think its similar to other films the director (Michel Gondry) has done before and its fair to say that his work is somewhat of an acquired taste. It certainly makes for a nice piece of escapism, if nothing else!. It may be viewed as a bit indulgent by some but personally I enjoyed the vast majority of the journey it took me on, so if it sounds good to you, then I'd recommend it, certainly. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review mark r Wow. Gondry's imagination in this one is in over-drive. Relentless. Until it slows down… and with good reason. Cleverly put together. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review william k A Boris Vian adaptation made with fast pacing and exuberant surreal imagination is fascinating to watch, but soon becomes tiresome and it loses its grip on the sadness of its ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member For anyone who has experienced what it is to have a loved one with a terminal disease, this movie is the perfect picture of how that feels, how it consumes all the happiness around, and it's nones fault. That's why I loved this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Exhaustingly noisy and intense with little sense behind, I couldn't finish. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online It's a mildly interesting romance portrayed by two solid actors that is largely overshadowed by its gimmicky effects. Rated: C- Sep 2, 2017 Full Review Jonathan Romney Film Comment Magazine Mood Indigo is, by any sane criteria, a quixotic, even ill-advised folly. There's a certain overexertion to it all-like Terry Gilliam, Gondry is always compelled to push things that little bit harder when you wish they'd been handled lightly. Sep 15, 2014 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland 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. Aug 21, 2014 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Gondry’s stylistic excesses hurt the film but they don’t hurt the performances. Rated: 3/5 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Dan Brightmore NME (New Musical Express) Michel Gondry's seventh film is visually inventive but a self-indulgent mess of ideas... Rated: 2.5/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Gondry's film captures some of the spirit of the novel. It will not be everyone's cup of tea, or even half-cup, but Mood Indigo is empathetic and amusing, and it is a pleasure to watch. Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
