Tulip Fever vertelt een verhaal over ware liefde en speelt zich af tijdens de tulpenmanie in Amsterdam tijdens de 17e eeuw. Een tijd waar tulpen meer waard zijn dan goud. Het oogverblindende weesmeisje Sophia is vanuit het klooster waar zij opgroeide uitgehuwelijkt aan tulpenhandelaar Cornelis Sandvoort. Wanneer de jonge, talentvolle schilder Jan de Loos opdracht krijgt een portret van het echtpaar te schilderen, worden hij en Sophia op slag verliefd. Gedreven door passie, verzinnen de twee een list om samen een toekomst te kunnen opbouwen. Daarvoor moeten zij zich wel mengen op de riskante tulpenmarkt en alles op het spel zetten.

Recensie (3)
This is a romantic movie during which I thought that it didn't really matter if it was about tulips or not, because anything else would have worked just fine. The story of the lovers isn't bad, it doesn't have a bad development, but the unnecessary promotion of humor didn't sit well with me. In the end it's also strangely positive, which I didn't expect.

A nearly two-hour camera feast on Alicia Vikander, which at times fetishistically captures her figure in millimeter-by-millimeter detail, and that's the only truly "intense" thing this would-be sparkly, piping hot romance has to offer. Anyone expecting a juicy emotional melodrama will be disappointed. Apart from the decent performance of the female lead, there is nothing to make a fan of the genre, and dense Victorian stories, happy. It's all told in one single exterior location of a darkened, dirty harbour and three or four rooms. That is, a movie for a few bucks where I guess they were betting on a gripping plot around the main trio, which is, except for a few moments, dull and about nothing. In addition, DeHaan's casting is way off. It seems that no other major celebrity wanted to be in this project, and after watching it, it’s no wonder. Fiasco.

As much as I hate to, I have to give a nod to the disgruntled part of the audience. Tulip Fever really could have been another story in the style of Girl with a Pearl Earring. However, the non-existent interplay between Vikander and Waltz makes the whole experience rather unbelievable to the point of being unbearable. Or was it just a small mistake and Alicia will overcome this misstep and live up to the hopes placed in her over the last five years as the new ideal costume drama actress? We'll see.
