You can use the site's Search function, you can even have it search the movie title in just this thread. But I was referring to reviews on wiki and/or RT.
I think it's cool for a 2h15m film to change moods, settings, lighting and all... hard to stay dark for 2hrs+. But you probably have a point there. I think he went to Italy and then Paris, and there's daylight scenes. Overall things seemed to brighten and the threat level kept decreasing, things seemed more tongue-in-cheek spurred by the blonde young lady and Depp. I'm not sure if that was the tone Polanski was going for, but I don't think it ever switched away from that comical tone after that. Cary Grant and the femme fatale can comically banter in some Hitchcock films, but usually it's just a humorous respite, not a tone setter for the rest of the film.
