    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!

    Enjoyable but ultimately exasperating

    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.

    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.

    Great Movie

    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

    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!

    • 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.
