Tulip Fever | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The quality of the cast and the level of craftsmanship ensure a superficially entertaining film, but you suspect it could have been so much more.

It seems more like a slick period piece or tiresomely predictable caper.

Tulip Fever is a pretty picture, and it effectively transports you back in time, but once you are there you'll be headed to the exit before you can even smell the tulips.

Looks the blossoming part with its elegant, painterly staging, but never finds an appropriate tone for the tale's sex, envy and tulip-bartering theatrics.

The film is populated with so many ancillary characters, which are far more engaging than the central lovers, that their antics too often distract from the central plot.
