Mason M Submarine was a surprising deep and very human coming of age story. I knew Richard Ayoade as an actor and liked him quite the bit, but I had no idea he was such a a great director too. I'll say that Oliver Tate is such an interesting and unique character for this story and I've never seen anyone quite like him in a movie with all of his strange quirks. I loved Ayode's stylization on the film and all its different shooting styles and influences. This film was spectacularly written too. All of Oliver's monologues were extremely interesting and the plot progressions with the two storylines were spectacular throughout. The scenery of the lakeside town was great to see too. What I really liked about this film was how real Oliver felt. All of his little things he does never felt like some glorified perfect movie character, they all felt like the real quirks of a teenage boy. Submarine is a spectacular debut from Ayoade that was layered, emotional, funny, heartfelt and packed with both style and substance. After this film, I won't be forgetting the name Oliver Tate anytime soon. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Fer S Good movie! Well achieved in all senses. Great acting, beautiful photography and style and well thought characters. I would not say this is a comedy/romance movie. It is more like drama/romance/comedy (in that order). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Faiz D 'Submarine' is an artfully made, wonderfully endearing and enjoyable film. Along with being very funny, it genuinely understands and insightfully explores teen anxiety and communication troubles. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review Logan D Fifteen-year-old Oliver has two goals. Get laid and make sure his parents don't break up. A hidden gem of a movie. I've certainly never heard of it. A coming of age tale with a philisophical bent, my younger self can relate to one of Oliver's goals. ;) Ayoade is great in front or behind the camera. I'm surprised he hasn't been tapped to direct more than two films. Both of his films are idiosyncratic with unique approaches to filmmaking. Recommended. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review annabelle j Submarine is a great film engaging perfectly with the 2010 aesthetic of life in Wales as a teen with the grunge outfits and the overall feel of the film with amazing soundtracks done by Alex turner. the plotline is thick with multiple stories and one story teller being the main character himself , he keeps the films and plotlines separate concisely while expanding on the other peoples personal lives that somewhat intertwine. the tiny details heap so much feel into the film 10/10 my favourite film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review Bea B My favourite film, a coming of age from the perspective of a really awkward and off-putting boy called Oliver and his first love. Very cinematic and dry but so funny and aesthetically pleasing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
