Superb Debut
By a customer from Edinburgh , 24 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Richard Ayoade's warm and witty debut feature stars Craig Roberts as Oliver, an awkward 15-year-old schoolboy who is simultaneously trying to forge a relationship with a spiky girl (Yasmin Paige), and bolster the failing marriage of his parents (Noah Taylor and Sally Hawkins). 'Submarine' is an affectionate and insightful celebration of nerdiness and teen angst; a delightful gem which richly deserves the appreciation of as wide an audience as possible.- Was this review helpful to you?

(288)Pretty good brit flick
By a customer , 11 May 2013Fairly realistic and ambivalent tale of adolescence. Well put together, watchable. Acting was good though the guy who looked just like Gary Oldman was distracting.- Was this review helpful to you?

Surprising Good
By rosief (22 reviews) , 24 Apr 2013Wondered what this film would be about with a title like Submarine but it was surprising good and absorbing. I really enjoyed it - maybe because it was British and had none of that US over the top stuff in it. Craig Roberts played Oliver superbly and gave a very convincing performance. Well worth giving up an hour and a half for.- Was this review helpful to you?

Hits the right buttons with awkwardness
By a customer , 09 Apr 2013Better than I thought it was going to be, simply because of the awkwardness of all the situations that arose - the conversations with parents, girlfriends, pupils, the camera - a bit like real life. It *was* a bit too mature in places for angst-ridden teens but you could argue that the speaker was speaking with some hindsight and maturity. Nothing bad happens, the non-dialogue areas are just right and the characters very well acted.- Was this review helpful to you?

Never have i found myself so captivated by a film
By a customer , 07 Apr 2013Never have i found myself so captivated by a film and the way it was shot before i stumbled upon this new favorite mine. It combines heart felt plots with unique witty comedy that is not aimed to make you laugh out loud. Its beautifully shot and directed by the young and brilliant Richard Ayoade and stars pure talent. the film cleverly mixes deep issues like adultery, guilt, anxiety and depression with a slightly comical teen romance. i am a huge fan of the side submarine jokes/comments as otherwise i would have no idea as to why the film would have been titled that way. beautifully written and directed.- Was this review helpful to you?
