Review of Submarine

Submarine (2010)
7/10
Dark Humor + Awkward Craig Roberts = Submarine
7 September 2014
This was Richard Ayaode's directorial debut and he has done a very good job of adapting the novel.This film perfectly suits his style of humor.Craig Roberts is very talented and plays this role of dark teenager very well. Acting - All performances were good. The psychic was hilarious. The boring dad, tempted mom, crazy bullies. Music- The songs chosen were terrific and I listened to all of them after the movie. Cinematography - This is where the movie shines the most. Beautiful beaches and waste factory areas are excellently captured. There are many scenes that stand out like the bathtub scene.

The movie like a movie is divided into 4 segments and its like the main character is watching his life as a movie himself being the narrator.This puts an interesting perspective to the viewers.

Though some characters may not be likable, it adds to their dimension unlike romcoms where all characters are one dimensional. In the end it was enjoyable but , it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
