Good Movie, great soundtrack, Weak finish

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!

Will remember this one

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.

Still frustrating me weeks later

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!

Great, but fastpaced

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.

Very enjoyable

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.

Trivia
"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.

Goofs
The 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.
