Daffodils

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
