	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] opens without much reason for audiences to care (...) The entire package has a curiously old-fashioned feel (...) [It] seems to lose its wits as it goes along"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This floral-scented fiasco is so lifeless you can barely feel a pulse (...) Who was 'Tulip Fever' made for? Flower freaks? Film masochists? (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"[It] gradually turns into a far-fetched soap opera (...) 'Tulip Fever' isn’t a disaster. The first half is actually fairly decent, occasionally threatening to be good (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Alicia Vikander, Dane DeHaan and Christoph Waltz — they feel like coexisting characters from separate stories (...) [The screenplay] leaves the churn of emotional upheaval and danger described more than felt."
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A messy, strange adaptation of the best-selling novel (...) It was not worth the wait (...) A fever it is not."
		Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"The most disappointing thing about 'Tulip Fever' (...) is that it’s neither a secret masterpiece nor a laughable disaster (...) The star turns (...) stave off boredom, but (...) there isn’t much there."
		Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"There are numerous, ridiculous twists (...) 'Tulip Fever' reveals itself to be so nutty because it explicitly believes it’s not crazy (...) The film wilts right before your eyes (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
		Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"The film’s production values are predictably Weinstein Company-high, and the actors (...) are too good not to carry its promising first half (...) But the script (...) never picks up much inner life"
