Love Birds
Film (Trailer, Excerpts, and Extras) – 2011
You’re just some bloke who’s too scared to fly, with a duck that can’t.– Holly (Sally Hawkins) to Doug (Rhys Darby)
Love Birds does what it does just fine. There is Queen on the soundtrack, love in the air, and quite probably a smile on your face as the credits roll.– Graeme Tuckett, reviewing Love Birds for The Dominion Post
One of Rhys’ skills is adlibbing and just changing it up, and the most enjoyable part of that was Sally (Hawkins), having done a lot of work with people like Mike Leigh, was totally up for it.– Director Paul Murphy, in an interview in Onfilm (February 2011)
