Avis à la une
Daffodils was a film that showed many emotions and it'll make people think of themselves or others who did not have courage to communicate. The film was fast-paced which was alright I suppose, except that you couldn't experience the whole eras thing in the movie.
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.
I really enjoyed this film, and living in Hamilton (where it's set) was very nostalgic. I absolutely love Rose McIver and she did a fantastic job. But the ending was a bit frustrating. But the sign of a good film is if it makes you feel something and I felt for these characters.
Daffodils was film that showed many types of love and hate in Eric's (George Mason) relationships. The film's Moral/Value is that we should have the courage to communicate and free our minds of such burdens. I did find that the movie was fast-paced, but it did succeed to tell the story wholesomely. The music was fantastic as promised and I did see myself as an extra (which was cool😎), but I must be in the deleted scenes as well. Daffodils was directed in a unique way and I am proud to be part of this film, so overall I'm giving it a 4.5\5
I highly recommend Daffodils. It was a great movie - an insightful slice of life and exploration of human nature. Very few movies have me emotionally engaged and this was definitely one of them. My heart went out to the two main characters, played by NZ actors Rose McIver and George Mason. I found myself laughing and crying with them.... wanting to reach out to them. Throughout the movie, I kept trying to will them to make different choices, and to talk to each other - to make things right.
I loved the NZ music! The Director, David Stubbs, integrated the singing into the dialogue seamlessly, and in a way that wasn't cheesy!
The ending wasn't what I had hoped for the 2 main characters; but, that's how bittersweet life can be.

- Anecdotes"Daffodils is a universally resonant love story that is also uniquely Kiwi and driven by the songs New Zealanders grew up with. It's so great that the filmmakers will get to share this story with audiences soon," said Annabelle Sheehan, then New Zealand Film Commission CEO.
- GaffesThe Austin van belonging to Eric's father that was parked in the driveway when Eric had his going away party in 1966 bears plate number FG1312 that would indicate it was registered in the early 1970s.
Also, one would wonder how Eric could afford a relatively new Ford Zephyr 6 MkIII to drive around in when he worked as a store clerk as the Zephyr was a pretty upmarket model for the day.
