I loved how realistic and melodramatic it was (as most teenagers know, everyone sometimes feels the need for a bit of melodrama). It was beautifully awkward, without it being cringey. So realistic and the seemingly minor hardships Oliver encountered seemed very major and dramatic. While managing do to everything I mentioned above, it still kept an indie feel to it and had beautiful soundtrack. Absolutely beautiful, love it from the bottom of my heart. 10.5/10

I heard about Richard Ayoade's "Submarine" when it got released but didn't get a chance to see it. I've finally gotten around to seeing it. What a fine movie. In addition to the complex characters, the clever storytelling makes this one that you have to see. I also like that the movie is set in Wales; when it comes to the United Kingdom, we hear about England a lot, Scotland less so, and sometimes about Northern Ireland, but how often do we get to hear about Wales?Is there any specific message to take from the movie? Well, it doesn't cast the most pleasant light on British schools. Most of all, I could relate to Oliver. I would like to see a lot more movies like this one. Outstanding. Not at all the sort of movie that one would expect from Ben Stiller's production company.In addition to Craig Roberts and Yasmin Paige in the lead roles, the cast includes Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones), Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) and Paddy Considine (In America).

I suppose this could be called the movie of the year, but that wouldn't be right. To call it the movie of the year, would indicate that it was the only movie out that year, and that would be misleading, since many other movies came out that year (2010). So while not technically the movie of the year, it was one of the many movies released that particular year. And as such, it was one of the movies of that year that were really good. Many other movies released that year were also good, and among them this one is no exception. So as far as movies released that year go, this movie is really good. Even when taken out of context, discussing movies released on different years, this movie of that year (2010) would fare pretty well in comparison. All and all, a good movie.

I have just watched Submarine and I think that Richard Ayoade is one of the best indie directors today.I think that this is one of the best coming of age movies ever made and is an extremely underrated film.The one flaw with this movie is not to do with the film itself but it's with the marketing. This film was marketed as a comedy, this film is not a comedy but a very emotional, excellent piece of art.It has outstanding performances by Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige, Sally Hawkins, Noah Taylor and Paddy Considine.The soundtrack by Alex Turner is also excellent and fits in perfectly with the film.
