Our take
Daffodils mixes stage-style song numbers with a decades-spanning relationship drama. Strong language is common, including the f-word and s-word in fights and messy nights. Beer, wine, and drunken moments show up, and the romance includes kissing and adult relationship strain. We land at 15 and up because the swearing and grown-up heartbreak need older teens
Uplifting themes
Memory, music, and second chances still leave room for tenderness. The film values feeling your history instead of burying it Characters own mistakes unevenly as the decades unfold. Care and honesty win more space as the story looks back with softer eyes
Story (may spoil tone)
A bittersweet love story told through enchanting re-imaginings of popular and iconic New Zealand songs.

Funeral talk appears in a wry line about being late to your own goodbye. The bigger ache is love that did not stay simple across the years
