Films You Need To Watch: Submarine (2011)

This film has got to be one of my favorites from recent years; it is a coming-of-age film that is a comedy mixed with a bit of darkness. I enjoyed everything from the cinematography to the language used. I even liked the outfits presented in the film, very fashionable set of characters. Though it shouldn't be, director Richard Ayoade is able to present Oliver Tates' (actually mostly every character) depression and sadness in a funny hysterical way. Plenty of irony is also present throughout the film making it that much better! I recommend this to anyone that likes to watch films in general.


"Fifteen-year-old Oliver Tate has two big ambitions: to save his parents' marriage via carefully plotted intervention and to lose his virginity before his next birthday. Worried that his mom is having an affair with New Age weirdo Graham, Oliver monitors his parents' sex life by charting the dimmer switch in their bedroom. He also forges suggestive love letters from his mom to dad. Meanwhile, Oliver attempts to woo his classmate, Jordana, a self-professed pyromaniac who supervises his journal writing - especially the bits about her. When necessary, she orders him to cross things out. -- (C) Weinstein"
