I used to like it (I think Charlotte Gainsbourg is stunning), but probably I'd find it too hipsterish nowadays
Excellent Gondry indie movie, with fantasy drama comedy elements. Great cast and good performances, lots of charm
Cool movie. Many visually beautiful scenes.
Gondry is incredible. The film is so technical and so heartfelt at the same time.
Quircky and fun. Beautiful movie and scenography.
A mesmerizing abstract and honest view of human emotion.
Enchanting visuals during the dream sequences. Wonderful contrast to a harsher reality. Memorable characters.
Amazing movie, really creative, sad and funny at times.
Inventive story and camera tricks keep you invested. It’s a little too twee to really love, but it’s enjoyable
Too weird in wrong way to me, even that I usually like original idea movies
