Decent, but it progressively gets more and more boring as it goes, as well as being familiarly indie-quirky in a progressively more annoying way. Not a bad debut, though, some good visuals and lines.

Stylistically and thematically positioning itself somewhere between Rian Johnson's "Brick" and Hal Ashby's "Harold and Maude" (!), "Submarine" deals with growing pains, the family unit and, well, relationships in general with - as thaklos noted in his mini-review - a clever discrepancy between Tate's disaffected outward appearance and his inner emotional turmoil reflected in the narration. It's awkward, weird and charming. Not unlike adolescence, I guess.

I really enjoyed this. It does a great job of capturing elements of the confusion, delusion, uncertainty, awkwardness and honesty of teen life, and does it with a very natural sense of humour. I'm sure Ayoade has his influences - this feels Wes Anderson-esque to a degree - but despite the style there is also an admirable measure of restraint. The casting is terrific, as are the performances (Considine nails it). An impressive, assured debut. Also, "My mum gave a handjob to a mystic" - great.

Oliver Tate's inner monologue is deliciously delusional, which leads to a lot of humor at his expense. It has the feel of a self-aware, quirky indie movie, but it never feels off-putting because of it. The style doesn't lend itself to emotional attachment, but the characters are too endearing for the audience not to like them. Plus the cinematography and soundtrack are really pleasant, which makes this into a really enjoyable experience.

Absolutely beautiful, blending a number of different stylistic techniques together seamlessly. The kind of flick where those who don't know how to read very well into things would be like "IT IS A HIPSTER FILM IT IS WELL SHIT" and turn off, but it's very clever and witty and knows its protagonist as well as any movie could.

Style over substance. It's good to see a british director taking this route and the results are excellent. I'm not saying the plot is lacking - it's actually very interesting - but the direction and the cinematography are what make this film, as well as fantastic performances across the board. The music also added to the atmosphere immensely and the humour is always spot on. Loses a few points for lacking a strong emotional core but still very entertaining and very original.

I really like the cast, especially Paddy Considine as an eccentric psychic with a mullet (hell yes), though it's really Craig Roberts who carries this movie. The script is a touch too quirky and contrived, though, and sometimes feels plagiarized from Wes Anderson (which is bad enough). Still, it's an impressive debut with some wonderful cinematography.

Despite my love for everything Richard Ayoade has made/was involved in, this failed to click. Perhaps it's because I'm not that into quirky movies. It does get of to a good and interesting start, but gets tedious towards the end. However it is still a very good debut, nice cinematography, music, etc. and I'm very much looking forward to seeing more from R.A..

The quirky characters, the indie soundtrack, the forced intellectualism from a young protagonist... Sometimes it was a bit much. That being said, I liked it. I thought all the performances were great. I felt the emotion in the film even though the characters themselves rarely showed any. It had a very stylised look to it, with nice use of colour, which I liked. I thought some of the things the film had to say were really interesting and relatable too.

In a lot of ways this feels like a newer Harold and Maude. The protagonist is a morbid but hopeful misfit in his journey of self-discovery. The film is funny and adorable, and it works because it portrays youth for what it is: fucked up, confusing, and at times brutally primitive. The direction is constantly eccentric in, for lack of a better word, a sort of cutesy way in its delivery, but thankfully for the most part it never gets obnoxious. Looking forward to Richard Ayoade's next effort.

It's refreshing to watch a coming-of-age film that manages to balance a sense of style with realism without seeming too self-conscious or pretentious. Submarine does precisely that, while managing to arrange a series of plausible conflicts that advance the story. It's interesting how the theme of conquest ties in with the conflicts while yielding productive results in the end. Oliver's relationship with Jordana is a perfect example how two social outcasts can reinforce their individuality.

Quirky coming of age flick about a vaguely sociopathic Welsh teenager simultaneously trying to salvage his parents marriage while navigating a romantic relationship with a prickly female arsonist. There's some great cinematography, good acting, and it manages to make all those things that feel important when you're 15 feel important (even though they aren't)...but despite all that it's still kinda underwhelming. Maybe more familiarity with the source material might've helped.

I thought this movie reminded me of Moonrise Kingdom but it was a lot better. Submarine is about young love and the pitfalls that love entails. I thought that young Oliver had a wonderful inner monologue. His thoughts were so deep and witty which really says a lot about the movies writing. There was also a lot of really great and beautiful shots in this film. All the characters had a strange personality but it made me like them. I especially like the conversation post affair with the mother.

I would describe Submarine as Wes Anderson-lite; Richard Ayoade was certainly inspired by Anderson but tones down the quirkiness a bit. The two saving graces for this film: the always amazing Paddy Considine as a ridiculous self help guru with a kick-ass mullet and the soundtrack which is introduced as a mix-tape the father makes for his son.

A truly sweet film that not only pokes fun at the teenage mindset of omniscience, but refreshingly locates the act of 'growing up' as something that adults must similarly stumble through. This parallel is what sets the typical Bildungsroman narrative apart from many, and as we watch the young boy learn from his parents, we smile as he reciprocates the teaching to his own parents. Stylistically idiosyncratic, which encapsulates the worldview of Oliver. Funny, honest, sad, nostalgic. Great film.

Solid film that didn't blow me away. Thankfully it isn't as quirky as I had expected going in and the acting is all decent. I got a kick out of Paddy Considine as a mystic. Roberts is good. The film is shot well also. I won't rant and rave about it, but it's a solid enough debut for Ayoade to pique my interest.

A slightly more realistic coming-of-age tale - embarrassing, awkward, sometimes vicious and cruel - told perfectly from the perspective of the protagonist while also allowing the audience enough space to see things for what they really are. The highlight here is the style - Richard Ayoade cribs from Wes Anderson, Godard, etc to create something fairly self-aware, but not aloof so that we still sympathise with the characters.

This is a dazzling, visually astounding director debut for Richard Ayoade. It generates moods and feeling as effectively as any recent film I've seen, striking a great balance between that and telling a story. Terrific, flawless ensemble; hopefully Craig Roberts and Yasmin Paige's careers take off because of this. Ends ambiguously, with the promise, but not certainty of reconciliation, and really captures the pain of attaining a little bit of maturity.

A whimsical, stylish and tidy adaptation of the book, Ayoade's debut takes some imaginative liberties with the source material, and finds some real funny results. Still, it's a coming-of-age film that, despite its sincerity and a bright shifting tone, is more a design achievement in cinematography and soundtrack than a great feature on the whole.

Not really my cup of tea. Plot wasn't especially interesting, the jokes were all pretty much awkward humour based, the choice of music for dramatic effect was rather uninspired. Although, I did like a few of the Welsh quirks uttered from time to time. Overall, a bit wishy-washy, really don't see how people are scoring it so high.

Submarine shares its protagonists over-interpretation of life with The Truth About Men and (500) Days of Summer, but does it in its own confused teenager kind of way. That, combined with a truly amazing written script, an unique style and a charming Craig Roberts as Oliver Tate makes it an instant gem and one of those films that make you remember how fucked up you were when you were 15...

The main thing I enjoyed about this movie was the cinematography, editing, music, and some parts of the dialogue. Other than that, I did not feel like I could connect with any of the characters too much. Oliver a little but nothing very deep.

I rewatched this to understand my disappointment. I mean, the aesthetics and camerawork are wonderful to watch; the majority of the performances were impressive; and there is a certain charm to it. However, the plot was incredibly dull. I actually fell asleep during my first viewing. In a movie with so much dialogue and narration, it is imperative that it be interesting or, at the least, funny. Comparatively, Drive succeeded with style over substance because there was minimal dialogue.

Yeah, we've seen the "socially awkward teenager tries to get laid in boring smalltown" plot before, but it's really done well here. Craig Roberts basically plays David Brent of The Office as an insufferably pretentious teenager, there's just enough cringe comedy to not head off into full-on embarrassment or Diablo Codyesque smugness, the supporting characters are well-developed, and it knows what to take seriously.

When it comes to overplayed pretentious quirkiness, one can hardly do any better than "Submarine", which comes off way more charming than annoying. Yup, there are a lot of well-worn hipsterisms here, but it's a testament to Ayoade's sharp writing and visual wit and Roberts' memorable turn that the film packs both an emotional punch and a great deal of humorous highlights.

There's a Wes Anderson sensibility to some of the visuals which is fine since the script is never twee or silly. The coming-of-age story is quite grounded and darkly comic in ways that touch on the despair a teen might feel after they've had their heart broken. There's also a few big laughs to be had in the characters' off-kilter Harold & Maude-like sensibilities.

Oh, how lovely! As a general reference, the mannerisms displayed made me think of a bleaker, british version of a wesandersonian approach. But that reference alone would do it injustice. All the awkwardness and goofiness come very natural (and the cast does a great job at that), and you can definetly feel Ayoade's touch in the humor, even if it's clad in sensitivity. The whole photography is beautiful and Alex Turner does a fine job being soothing and tender. Lovely!

A little too precocious and self-aware at times, but it kind of works when viewed as the self-serious and pretentious nature of a 15 year old teenager, bumbling like a moron but still filled with romance and promise. Which perfectly expresses how I feel about Ayoade as a director: it's too twee and makes missteps, and it's a little too self-important, but there's an eye for photography and a real heart, and I look forward to seeing more from him. Score is not a grade.

A notable debut, packed with delightful quirkyness, originality and wit, but director Ayoade seems to be stronger as an aesthete than a storyteller. There were some wonderful directorial touches and strong visuals which helped build up memorable characters. But narratively and emotionally the film lost its way fairly badly through the middle and end. Life got too complex for the protagonist to handle and the narration became incohesive. Shame because the setup was really strong. Well acted also.

I'm not sure this is for everyone, but I highly liked it - after a few considerations, I choose to rank it, by itself, higher than the book it was inspired by. The only thing it lacks is the fairly descriptive and pensive sex scene that occurs in the book, which is completely skipped through in the film. I mean, a coming of age film without the awkwardness of the first time? But I guess it's okay considering it's Ayoade's debut and handling that would be a handful.

A charming and often very funny film full of wit and Wes Andersen style visual conceits. I would have have liked to see the movie do a little more with the dramatic aspects of the story. The whole point of a coming of age story is to feel that protagonist has reached some more mature understanding of himself and his world, and I just don't get that here.

The back of the box describes "Submarine" as "Best comedy in years, laugh out loud funny". To describe it simply as a comedy is just wrong. It's a bittersweet dramedy at best, which isn't a bad thing. I despise hipster-as-shit films (e.g. "The Future") and "Submarine" does suffer a little from pretentious and hipstery dialogue, narration, etc. but thankfully it's equally balanced with genuine humor, good performances and a story which I found emotionally engaging at times. Paige was a bitch.

It's pretty entertaining in spite of not really having anything to say.

In the best way possible, a very teenaged portrayal of a time in a teenager's life.

Starts good, proceeds boringly. Can not be called as comedy.

On paper it is a traditional coming-of-age story, but british filmmaker Richard Ayoade's style and characters are a breath of fresh air compared to the american coming-of-age films.

the promising start turns into an average film x2. Second view: I don't know. I was certainly not in the mood at first view. This is rather good.

This film moved beyond what I expected it to be - a cutesy depiction of a maladjusted intellectual youth. And though it was just that, it shined with poignant moments of heartbreak and moves through relationships of every growing phase. Tate's stoic and unaffected outward appearance is interestingly complimented by his roaring "affectations". Witty, seething and charming.

A very charming story of growing up. The narrator's quirky detachment from reality has the double-edged sword of providing great entertainment, but making it a little difficult to empathise with him and feel his pain as his life begins its deterioration during the second act. Nevertheless, it's great viewing and, as with all coming-of-age type films, everyone will find at least some part of themselves splashed all over the screen.

Brilliantly acted and shot. You really feel for the characters and the the fact its so quirky adds to it. The only downer is that this is likely to be forgotten which is shame. Hopefully it will reappear in the near future in one of those 'films you haven't seen' lists and will get a rebirth.

Submarino estreava há 10 anos no Festival de Toronto. Ouvi gente falando bem desse filme por dez anos e que preguiça. Compara com outro coming-of-age da mesma época como Fish Tank e veja como esse filme é bobo. BlurayRip RARBG.

Submarine wirkt frisch und echt, als wärs von echten Teenies gemacht! Nicht durch die abgestumpfte Perspektive eines Erwachsenen, der sich versucht, zu erinnern - Submarine ist im besten Sinne adoleszent!(...) die ganze Rezension sowie die für unseren Geschmack besten Offbeat Comedies gibts auf der Seite unserer Videothek cinegeek.de

Top-notch coming of age tale with a distinctive filmmaking style and a droll script, with lots of hilarious little asides that you could easily miss. Reminded me of Rushmore and Harold and Maude. It's a great debut, let down only slightly by a third act that doesn't live up to the first.

Keşke izlerken daha çok üzülüp derinden bir şeyler hissederek helak olabilseydim ama ben Submarine'i sevdim ve film mutlu bir son ile bitmeseydi belki de aşık olacaktım.

"Succeeds by perfectly recapturing the way teenagers behave, the forced pretense of their actions, their deadly seriousness in dramatizing what amounts to minor emotional damage." - Jesse Cataldo

As a writing and directorial debut, this is outstanding. It walks the line between believable, heartfelt teenage concerns and silly comedy very well, as you feel it may be going too far in one direction it comes back again. Who knew that Richard Ayoade had depth!?
