Richard Ayoade directs in his first feature film, starring Craig Roberts, Yasmin Paige and Paddy Considine. Submarine follows the story of 15 year old Oliver Tate (Roberts) who has two objectives, lose his virginity before his next birthday and to re-light the flames on his parents marriage.
Being released back in 2011, this terrific British film was completely overlooked by the Bafta's and the academy awards alike. Containing brilliant acting, a hilarious script and a heart-warming story I would go as far to say that submarine was my favorite film of last year. I think that submarine is just as much a comedy/drama then it is a young love story. The plot is very simple and quaint in a way that it perfectly matches the films setting of a small welsh seaside town. Being such a realistic depiction of the life of a traditional teenage boy, means that we can instantly relate to his likable character. As the story develops throughout the film so does the boy's love for Jordana (Paige), these scenes which show the couple together is an affectionate reminder to what it was like to have a young love. To make these scenes even more outstanding, they are accompanied by a perfectly fitted score, performed by Alex Turner which have so much feeling, they just complete every scene.
The acting is all outstanding, especially from the lead Craig Roberts and his characters mother Sally Hawkins, the sheer talent that's displayed in the film makes the whole film so believable and realistic, making scenes more funny, loving dramatic e.t.c
There is nothing I didn't like about this film, from it's hilarious opening to it's heart-warming end. This film is not only the best comedy/drama of 2011 but also one of the best love stories I've seen in years. A near masterpiece.
90%- The heart-felt story bursting with feeling and emotion will have you smiling for hours.
