Celebrity composer Darcy (Jennifer Ward-Lealand) sees colours when she plays musical notes - synaesthesia. When she notices her vision is disrupted by the colour vermilion, she knows she needs help. While planning the wedding of her daughter Zoe (Emily Campbell), surrounded by her loving friends Sarah (Theresa Healey) and Sila (Goretti Chadwich), she secretly makes her own plans. An excellent effort with great samples of music by Douglas Lilburn and Don McGlashan as well as some traditional songs. My only complaint is the lack of optional English subtitles. Recommended.

Censor Rating: M - Review rating: B-

Simon Morris RadioNZ Review with audio option

"Scheffmann's writing is a gift to her performers, delineating character and story cleanly while trusting them to do the work of bringing both to life. Although the film is dealing in emotionally charged matters, the dialogue is light rather than heavy, elliptical in a way that at first seems pseudo-profound but gradually reveals itself to be the real thing. The characters have the force of lived experience behind them. This is a wise, sweet, moving film and it made me cry" - David Larsen - Metro Magazine NZ.
