Truly Dreadful Film

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The story, cast and the locations are simply stellar. Alicia has always been stunning. Her expressions and emotion make us feel the feelings she is going thru. Story makes you planted to your seat till the last moment. Loved it!

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

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.

It is very sad to know that only blind people have seen it. Otherwise, this is not a response the film deserved. It was almost a solid 10 out of 10 film. Superfast narration. Beautiful setting. Of course the background score was good, but if it had an even better catchy score, then it would have been one of my all time favourites.Surely one of the best costume dramas I've seen in my life. It seems like a drama, but it was more a romance-thriller. Especially the final quarter was amazing. Little predictable, but overall the narration kept surprising me frequently. It was a secret affair that has been waiting to take along everyone around to the down!This story was narrated in the background as it had happened, that tells us about an orphan grew up in a convent and later an old wealthy man took her in as his wife. In return, she has to give him an heir, a son. But she's not succeeding, until a young artist who came to make the couple's portrait, then they two has fallen in love.The secret romance takes the surprise twists when it had interlocked with other people's affair around them. Now they all who are involved in it must try to fix it once for all. And of course, at the end someone must get hurt, at least not physically. Who is that or is it more than one is the conclusion unfolded so touchingly rather than too much emotion.This project saw too many obstacles. I'm happy it's now here after all these years of struggle. Based on the book of the same name. Excellently transformed into the screen. And not particular, but all the actors were equally great. I've heard lots about the love between the Netherlands and Tulips, but seeing it in a film was truly wonderful. PAY NO ATTENTION TO FILM CRITICS AND THEIR ARDENT FOLLOWERS. It's one hundred per cent a fantastic period drama of the year that's not to be missed, particularly by the grown ups!!9/10
