Is it like Girl with a Pearl Earring?


Story sounds familiar.

I agree, I instantly thought of that movie when I saw this. . . but this looks interesting kinda like a spin on girl with a pearl earring. Excited to see it.

Hopefully its more like The Girl With The Pearl Necklace

Actually, I really love The Girl with the Pearl Nose Ring.

I've always been partial to The Girl With the Pearl Jacobs Ladder.

I'd prefer "The Girl with the Pearl Nose Ring Only" - and even more I'd love to see
very emoish "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with the Girl with the Pearl Nose Ring Only".

But I guess those movies are of totally different genre and not discussed here at IMDB... ;-)

well, since the plot sounds almost identical, apart from different actors playing the parts, I'd say we basically have a retelling of that movie here...

I got the same feeling.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

J thought so, too, until I had read 'Tulip Fever'. I had read 'Girl' and seen the film made from it. I have just watched the film made from 'Tulip Fever.'

It is similar in externals: setting, painting, female protagonists to 'Girl', but only in externals.

'Tulip' is a fictional love story affected by the tulip mania that occurred in the 17th century Netherlands. As shown in the film fortunes were made and ruined by it. Painting is incidental to the story in 'Tulip" 'Tulip is the more somber.

'Girl' is the fictional backstory to a real painting by Johannes Vermeer, a Dutch painter who actually existed. The time period of 'Girl' is set around 29 years after the Tulip market collapsed in 1637. Vermeer painted 'Girl" in 1666.

In both cases the female protagonist at the end takes control of her fate: one because she makes a choice, the other because she has only one choice.
