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.

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.
