Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

cheergal This movie somehow was wasted by its uninspiring and ridiculed story. There should not have problems to draw excellent writers to implement the story into its perfection. Nevertheless, the director lost his vision half way through.I loved "Girl with a pearl earring". This one could have been elevated into such level of quality. Unfortunately, it came out short. I had high expectations before watching it. And I was disappointed by its lack of efforts to convince the audience. It had stunning visuals of customs and scenery, but lacking of same quality of story to go with them. It is a sham when the director put so much effort into somewhere else other than the story itself.Anyway, you may choose to watch it. However, don't expect to be thrilled by.

eddie_baggins Filmed way back in 2014, to say that the background of Tulip Fever is one of much change and concerning history is an understatement and upon evaluation of the final product, it seems as though this is one particular period drama that would've done well to sit out its life on the shelf of what could've been.At one stage or another a project that had John Madden attached as a director, Steven Spielberg on as producer and stars Jude Law and Keira Knightly lined up to be in front of the camera, director Justin Chadwick's adaptation of Deborah Moggach's novel of the same name is a rather cold and flavourless experience that is supposed to throw us headfirst into Alicia Vikander's Sophia Sandvoort's whirlwind romance with Dane DeHaan's budding painter Jan van Loos in the face of a cold marriage to Christoph Waltz's exporting merchant Cornelis Sandvoort in Amsterdam of the 17th century but instead throws us into a drama by the numbers narrative that lacks any true passion or pulsating heart.It's not like Tulip Fever doesn't have the potential and the star power to make it succeed, at its core being it has a story that should've and could've been something to get emotionally invested into but Chadwick's lacklustre directing and poor script work by screenwriters Tom Stoppard and Deborah Moggach weigh the film down to a point where it all seems rather frivolous and pointless and we begin to wonder why we should care about anything at all within this dull and dry experience.There's no real commitment in the film, no real passion, not even actors of Vikander's and Walt'z skill can make things ramp up a notch despite their best efforts while supports are mixed with De Haan as lifeless as his ever been, like his wondered in from a long night out at the bar, while other notable performers like Jack O'Connell and Cara Delevingne barely get a chance to do anything in their minimal roles, ditto for Dame Judi Dench and the pointless addition of usual funny man Zach Galifianakis.The other huge problem with Tulip Fever is the fact that with Vikander's Sophia cheating and manipulating her husband such a core component of the film, it's hard to get on board with her plot as Cornelius is a rather genuine man, his not an evil or nasty man, rather one that wants the best for his wife and his hoped for family, making much of Fever's key developments hard to agree with.Final Say - With brief, fleeting moments of what could've been, Tulip Fever isn't irredeemably bad but Chadwick's efforts to transport us to a time and place we end up caring deeply about leave a lot to be desired. Considering the cast at its disposal, Tulip Fever's end product is a deeply disappointing outcome.2 little soldier's out of 5

sergelamarche The people are almost too good to be true in this film. Well, the good ones anyway, and even the bad ones. Unconventional story that was fun to watch.

Msbnitski I really liked this movie. It was fun, wicked and full of lust. A young women marries an older man. She can't conceive but she tries to. Her husband wants their portrait done by a young artist and of course the lust and betrayel begins.The tulip bulbs are flying off the shelves like gold and everyone is investing and making money. It's a fun movie, kinda predictable but hey, it's a romantic movie with the typical lovers twist and turns of lust. Looking for a lite romantic 17th century Dutch epic than this is a great movie that will make you wonder if it's all worth it, love that is and tulips.
