Tulip Fever Reviews

Aug 22, 2024

It is so bad it gave me headache

Dec 13, 2023

The "tulip craze" is a dumb one - and really just the backdrop for Vikander trying to get out of her relationship with a wrinkly old man.

The RT rating is a bit harsh. I watched this on 온라인카지노추천 and rather enjoyed it. Quite sweet and entertaining.

Some good performnces undone by pure melodramatic shlock.

Tulip Fever falters between being a historical film about the Tulip mania of the 17th century and a romantic period drama. While the performances make the period drama aspects work well enough to be deemed enjoyable, the political parts feel jarring as they appear without good context.

This is a reasonably good period drama. It does feature some fairly raunchy scenes, so it's perhaps not an ideal watch if your with your parents or similar but the story is intriguing and the cast do well in their performances and its somewhat thought provoking too, so not an overly bad film. I quite liked the cinematography too. I would recommend this film, yes.

The story was a little far fetched but still enjoyable. Alicia Vikander was beautiful.

L'eleganza e la particolarietà del periodo, del contesto e della trama sono gli aspetti maggiormente positivi e di interesse. I personaggi sono ben costruiti, senza buoni ne cattivi, ognuno con le proprie intenzioni e la propria storia che si intreccia alla perfezione con quelle altrui. Sicuramente deludente il finale, sbrigativo e approssimativo, anche poco chiaro per certi versi a partire dal crollo del mercato dei tulipani, tanto rapido quanto senza spiegazione. Interessanti le location e la fotografia.

Laughably bad. American producers should stay away from historical European stories as it always ends in tears. The Tulip theme is virtually irrelevant, the script is predictable and banal and the characters are simply modern people in historical dress. Simply not believable. The only positives are the costumes and set designs.

Magnificently scripted, taut plot, Recommend it very highly indeed. For a period piece, this is BRILLIANT.

No idea why this is so hated by critics other than it was too short! i really enjoyed it and would like to have spent longer in the world created for the movie.

Such a confusing exercise for all involved. Not surprised that it wasn't released for three years after shooting. Waltz is the only cast member who delivers in the slightest. I like Vikander, but her character is remarkably uninteresting and the main romance laughable. The tulip sidelines do nothing for the plot, apart from providing conveniences. Clearly, the incorporation of tulip investing was only an attempt to make the rest of the film seem like less of the sex-for-exposition, weak period drama romance that it was. What are Judi Dench, Zach Galifanakis, and Cara Delevingne doing here in throwaway roles? The latter less so at this stage of her career, but surely the other two had better things to be doing. Every time that Waltz is on screen, you feel the pain and good nature of his character to your core, but this only serves to further accentuate the deficiencies in plot and performance elsewhere and angers me that such a force could be so wasted on a horrific project. The additional sideline of Holliday Grainger as a pregnant maid and the resulting harebrained subplot involving the main character convolutes things further. Dane DeHaan is awful. The main romance between him and Vikander does nothing, but he never, at any point, inspires any emotion but vague distaste. Likewise, the climax and ending is at best puzzling and at worst a complete massacre of the very art of cinema. The setting of period Amsterdam reads like someone who picked out a few facts from a book and hired costume designers to do the rest, rather than detailed historical knowledge. In fact, the whole story reads as if someone watched one film in their life, made a few notes, and then attempted to create their own with no revision.

Disappointing. I wish I'd read a review before watching it so I didn't get my hopes up. I love period dramas and forbidden love and what a stellar cast. Except for the 2 young romantic leads! Why were they cast? How could this film be so bad?! Rubbish story. Who read this story and thought that it was good? How did they manage to get so many big names basically play bit-part extras? Mind-boggling. Was it meant to be a comedy perhaps? But not funny?

Despite a great premise about the Tulip trade in 17th century Amsterdam and love affairs, the writing is uninspired and anticlimactic with messy plotting. There is a lack of chemistry and desire between Alicia Vikander and Dane Dehaan, and their courtship is very rushed. None of the characters are particularly likeable and it is difficult to emphasize with any of them. Not worth the time.

Feb 14, 2021

Se il nucleo narrativo attorno al quale dovrebbe girare l'intera narrazione è rappresentato dal rapporto tra i due giovani attori protagonisti, allora siamo messi proprio male. Si tratta dell'ennesima trasposizione cinematografica che taglia molto più del dovuto, sintetizzando essenziali nodi della trama con una superficialità disarmante. Questo fa si che non ci sia sintonia tra i personaggi e rende alcune scelte totalmente insensate, ai limiti della credibilità. L'esperienza è dunque vuota, anemica e priva di ogni senso.

Good reconstruction of Holland in the XVII Century

Jan 2, 2021

This was a terrible movie from start to finish. Incredibly weak plotline, unbelievable character motivations, plot twists that appear out of thin and air to conveniently move the plot forward, bland and one dimesntional characters... The only redeeming feature is the costuming and set design. Don't waste your time.

What a load of garbage. A shame for an actor like Cristoph Waltz

Jul 13, 2020

Its impressive set pieces and solid cast are terribly wasted with silly dialogue, convoluted plot, an overreliance on soap opera clichés, and an uneven and derivative narrative.

Feb 19, 2020

Boring love story, and vapid premise.
