Daffodils

The loose ends at the end may leave you mad as the way things work out doesn't make sense.

Loved the movie. However, Eric's character sold the viewers on how mucn he loved Rose, so it is very inconcievable that he would withhold the one piece of information which would have saved the marriage and the family. All movies do not have to have happy endings, but the ending must be believable. This ending was not!

I enjoyed the characters and the songs and the way the story develops. But such a massive hole in the middle with the way things turned out and the ending just left me feeling frustrated and annoyed!

Watched on channel 1 NZ Television ads an absolute curse to continuity. Surprised but enjoyed as a musical but film like an anti-crease? But lightning fizzed cos fella didn't know the right song.

There was so much to praise in "Daffodils" - most of the music (oh, the nostalgia!), the production values and period detail, the costuming, the acting; all were impressive. But the crucial scene of confrontation, even if it was one of the scenes that were true to real events, in film terms just did not work, and so the rest of the film fell quite flat. To have the man just stand there, dumb as a stunned mullet, while his "film self" warbled eloquently that he "didn't have the words"? Yeah....nah. Such a pity.
