Submarine

About This Movie

So, here's the thing about 'Submarine'. It's this quirky coming-of-age piece that really nails the awkwardness of adolescence. Oliver, played by Craig Roberts, is just this introspective, somewhat odd Welsh kid, and his attempts to woo Jordana, brilliantly portrayed by Yasmin Paige, are both earnest and painful to watch. The pacing is a bit offbeat, which adds to that dreamy quality of teenage life and love, you know? It's shot with a vivid palette that gives it that charmingly off-kilter vibe. And the practical effects are pretty neat, creating a whimsical feel that complements Oliver's internal struggles with his parents’ faltering marriage. You get this real sense of nostalgia, even if it's not overly sentimental.

Notable for its unique visual style and color palette. · The performances are grounded, with a slight surreal touch. · Explores themes of love, insecurity, and parental relationships.
