2011 Movie
Dir. Richard Ayoade · UK, United Kingdom · English
Awkward. That is how Oliver Tate can be described, and generally the whole movie. But it is professionally and scrutinizingly awkward. Submarine is a realistic teen comedy, one that makes sense and in which not everyone looks gorgeous and pretends to have a tough time. It is hilarious and sad, dark and touching. It is awesome and it’s embarrassing, and it’s the kind of movie that gets nearly everything about being a teen right, no matter where you grew up.
15-year-old deep-thinking Welsh schoolboy Oliver Tate struggles to initiate and maintain a relationship with Jordana, his devilish, dark-haired classmate at their Swansea high school. As his parents' marriage begins to fall apart, similar problems arise in his relationship with Jordana.
"A delicate and potent new British comedy."
— David Denby
"A shy, bright, wonderfully appealing film."

Loved how the narrative of the movie is shown. A basic reality for a young teenager mixed with his little dreams and fantasies. How he is caught in the dilemma of saving his life from misery. A great music score from Alex Turner helps in the flow of the movie. Definitely gives you a fell good moment after watching it.
