There hasn’t been a huge amount of fanfare about the British comedy drama Submarine but you should try and catch it if you’re looking for amusement, convincing performances and to be entertained. No there aren’t any big name stars but don’t let this deter you from seeking it out at your cinema.
Directed by one of the IT Crowd’s leads Richard Ayoade, he who plays the nerd Maurice, and based on the book by Joe Dunthorne, the film covers a poignant time in the life of teenager Oliver (Craig Roberts). We see him embark on his first serious relationship with a challenging young girl called Jordana (Yasmin Paige) and watch him struggle through the break down of his parents’ marriage.
Oliver is a bit of a loner, trying to find ways to fit in at school, avoid being bullied and understand the complexities of love. You’re with him as he tries to defeat what seems like the inevitable attraction that his mother Jill (Sally Hawkins) has for a past boyfriend new age guru Graham (Paddy Considine) who moves in next door while simultaneously jeopardising his own chances with Jordana. He doesn’t communicate his fears or the reasons behind his own actions when Jordana’s also going through a tough time and needs to hear from him. It doesn’t sound like a comedy, but there are many amusing moments and trust me, you should have a fine experience, nurtured by a suitably melodious soundtrack by Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys.
