I discovered "submarine" thanks to Alex Turner's beautiful soundtrack and I found a gentle and honest coming of age movie made by evocative visuals. It makes you smile throughout the whole movie and It may be slow for some but it's worth It.

Found this gem through Alex Turner's music. I didn't regret it. Actually the opposite. I really loved it!

The smelly and messy teenage love presented in the best way possible and a dash of magic provided by Alex turner's tracks is all you need to know to watch this masterpiece.

The way this movie is constructed is fascinating. The story is great and engaging on many levels, naturally tackling themes such as beginnings, endings, growth, love and, above all, the dynamics of time in the characters' lives. Each character is equally fascinating, well-developed and relevant to the plot. It's interesting how so many feelings are portrayed visually, using surreal elements that perfectly capture the emotions. With funny, touching and deeply genuine scenes, it's a unique, authentic and very well-made film.

Not sure why it took me this long to rewatch what was, and basically still is, one of my favourites of all time but I'm glad I finally got around to viewing this with more mature eyes.
This is such an elite film crew of Brits - the cast, the editors, the music (Alex Turner is the perfect vibe) and of course nothing can go wrong with Richard Ayoade as CEO.

It's hard to find a coming-of-age film that brings at least a little something different. I loved everything about this film. It had a different vibe to it than so many others in this genre. It's not going to knock your socks off.... it's just quirky and really good.

This is a beautiful coming-of-age film. It’s very close to biting Wes Anderson’s style (camerawork, editing, quirky dialogue, dark & melancholic undertones), but it doesn’t feel like an exact copy. The smart decisions made by the writing and strong creative decisions elevate the material a lot. Don’t get me wrong, it uses some of the classic tropes associated with coming-of-age films, but it twists them in interesting ways as the film goes along. The dialogue is stylized (e.g. no teenager actually talks like the main character of this movie) while still feeling emotionally truthful and authentic. The acting’s pretty solid across the board, maybe Paddy Considine should’ve dialed it back a little as he feels a bit too cartoonish. I also could’ve done without the narration, it’s too much of an exposition device, however I do recognize that it simultaneously adds character. Technically the film’s pretty great. Its cinematography and editing are beautiful, it captures the feeling of Wales very well. As for the music, I already knew I liked these songs being a fan of Alex Turner’s work, so I kinda wish they used more of it. All in all, this is unlikely to completely blow you away, but it’s really good at what it does.

7.5/10
