As nicely shot and acted as Museum Of Innocence is, the story isn’t fleshed out enough to give us a real idea of what drew its main characters together, besides it just being a taboo pairing.

Almost every element of “The Museum of Innocence,” from the acting, background score, tone, and direction, is so saccharine and melodramatic that it makes the average tear-jerker Hindi film look restrained in comparison. And worst of all, the melodrama appears to empathize with, if not fully rationalize, the actions of the world’s most self-absorbed nincompoop.
