Couldn't even afford one real flower???
I forced myself to get through this one because I really like Kody Smit-McPhee's acting. I was surprised at how bad it was in this one. This could have been excellent as a short. Last scene was at least the "oh. Okay then" moment.
My major gripe beyond the acting was the sound and sets. The sound mix against the dialogue certainly had that super low budget feel. You know the one. Made for TV movie sound. And the score clashed badly with some scenes, or just sounded again, too cheap.
I couldn't understand what the message was behind the fake lily he sent to his wife. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. Did he fail? Was she crying because she knew he failed? Then it hit me. It was a "real" flower. They couldn't even afford a REAL flower for that shot??? Yes they could. It was just cheap and lazy execution. At least attempt to smooth out the fabric's texture on the petals in post or even snip the fraying threads on the bottom left petal!
