It’s all instantly forgettable. Except for the tulips — which, for the record, look stellar. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliSep 4, 2017
Nearly every role is miscast, which is rather amazing. Christoph Waltz and Judi Dench (as an abbess) are perhaps the exceptions. Read full review

Forget fever – this floral-scented fiasco is so lifeless you can barely feel a pulse. Read full review
