Tulip Fever
Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) leads this costume drama based on Deborah Moggach's novel, adapted to the screen by Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love).
In 17th-century Amsterdam, a married woman (Vikander) feels trapped in a loveless marriage with her husband (Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained), and begins a passionate affair with an artist (Dane DeHaan, Chronicle) hired to paint her portrait. The lovers gamble on the booming market for tulip bulbs as a way to raise money and run away.

The New York Times
The most disappointing thing about the end to the speculative bubble surrounding Tulip Fever is that there isn't much there.

The Guardian
The Vikander/DeHaan romance is a dud no matter how well it’s lit, but the “downstairs” passion between Grainger and O’Connell has a degree of realism and eroticism.

Rolling Stone
Forget fever – this floral-scented fiasco is so lifeless you can barely feel a pulse.

Los Angeles Times
At 107 minutes, Tulip Fever has been trimmed of every ounce of fat. But connective tissue, muscle and even the heart are gone too, leaving a lifeless frame.

Hollywood Reporter
It arrives not as a lusty tale in full bloom but as a tastefully arranged still life, in search of an animating spark.

Entertainment Weekly
As Chadwick piles on the coincidences and misdirections, the movie finally collapses under its own schematic weight, and wilts to the ground.
