Two great films make their way to DVD this week, leading with Submarine, the directing debut from Richard Ayoade. The British film, which co-stars Criticker faves Paddy Considine and Sally Hawkins, is a coming-of-age tale about a teenager who’s battling with his own love life and that of his parents. Also worth tracking down is Buck, a documentary about the “original” horse whisperer, from Cindy Meehl.
