Leave your thoughts about Day of the Flowers.
| Empire MagazineAnna SmithPretty Cuban landscapes and the graceful Acosta are the highlights of this slight but winsome road trip romance. |
| Total FilmEmma JohnstonHumour and melodrama rub along uncomfortably, but the likeable leads and gorgeous scenery make this lightweight trip fly by. |
| Eye for FilmAmber WilkinsonAlways charmingly frothy, even when the narrative threatens to salsa off with the fairies. |
| Time OutCatherine BrayIt's refreshing to see a film about two women that doesn't focus entirely on their love lives, but that's the limit of the cliché-busting; elsewhere, archetypes abound. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeAlthough occasionally the multiple plot strands seem to be pulling against each other, there's a warmth to the production that eases us over the structural cracks and makes us care about the outcome. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham YoungIf the plot gets a bit confusing there are mild diversions with the landscapes and music, though even that is unlikely to send you dancing all the way home. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeThe Havana-set Day of the Flowers aims to dance away its script troubles to the infectious rumba rhythms of its soundtrack. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWatchable British drama enlivened by engaging performances, a terrific soundtrack and a strong sense of location, though the script is occasionally both frustrating and confusing. |
| GuardianMike McCahillLame gags and supporting turns ensure it concludes closer to Mamma Mia! than Marx. |
| Little White LiesSophie Monks KaufmanThis confusing Cuban/Scottish romantic roadtrip movie does offer some very modest pleasures. |
