The beauty of Submarine is all in the details, particularly the script's wry observations, which can be excruciating.
August 30, 2018 | Full Review… -
The movie's conception of the tender agonies and embarrassments of would-be teenage lovers is hobbled by punchline cuts and predictable musical montages (carefree dashes, setting off bottle rockets, etc.).
July 1, 2013 | Full Review… -
A cool, well-directed, if somewhat sterile and self-consciously quirky affair about teen awkwardness, virginity, infidelity and dead-end marriages.
October 18, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
All of this makes it sound as if Ayoade is trying much too hard but the gentleness of his touch succeeds in keeping pretentiousness safely out of the picture.
September 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
There have been any number of movies about the problems faced by teenagers when they fall in and out of love, but the team behind Submarine seem to have got it all just right.
September 7, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 -
That rare teen comedy where the kids aren't gorgeous, the hero isn't heroic and the object of desire has a lot of reasons why she isn't necessarily desirable.

Audience Reviews for Submarine

Oct 08, 2015Submarine is cynical, depressive, colorful, and quirky -- a very British film. It is somewhere between a comedy and drama, with the comedy mostly revolving around scenes of embarrassment. While there is not much to be said for the plot or characters, Submarine is very well made.Robert B Super Reviewer

Nov 01, 2014coming of age yadda yadda yadda with Richard ayode of IT crowd fame writing and directing. I wanted it to work but it just falls so short and is nothing we haven't seen all before. you can clearly see its influences and it's not nearly rough enough around the edges to stand the test of time. turning it off and on again wont change thisSanity Assassin !

Nov 03, 2013Confident, idiosyncratic and quirky film with two great performances from Craig Roberts and Yasmin Paige and a distinctive directorial style that reminded me of early Wes Anderson. Very enjoyable with a melancholic edge.Daniel P Super Reviewer
