I had planned to watch Submarine for quite a while, but I was always somehow more interested in the other films and ended up going to the other movies. I thought this was just another regular coming-of-age film, and just so you know I have seen quite a lot of those recently. I finally got to chance to watch it yesterday and I realize I was so, so wrong. Submarine is nothing but a surprise of pleasant delight.
Submarine diverts into two aspects in terms of plot. It follows the life of Oliver Tate. On one hand, he is dealing with his parents' worsening relationship. On the other hand, he develops a romantic relationship with another girl at school. The style of the storytelling is unique and fresh. Occasional unusual scenes manage to boost the entertainment.
The acting is great. Craig Roberts is exceptionally amazing. A comprehensive and accurate display of emotions is attained, while the performance is highly believable and not overdone.
This great work is a very successful combination of comedy and drama. It is both sentimental and humorous. The story develops very well and in the process it manages to bring laughter, and for me, a lot of laughter. It balances itself very well for it to be both funny and moving.
Another attraction is the music. A number of original songs appear in the film. They are written and performed by Alex Turner, the leader singer of the band Arctic Monkeys. I enjoyed all of them while watching the film. They just fit so perfectly well into the scenes and the style just felt so right.
Submarine presents me a very breath-taking 100-minute ride and I am glad I decided to watch this. No one should miss this hilarious comedy and great drama, and the good music!
